Brian,
On the Master (primary):
Use "Add" -> "Secondary Nameserver (NS) Record"
     Enter the Domain To be Served
     Enter the FQDN of the Slave (Slave) Server

On the Slave (secondary):
Use "Add" -> "Secondary Name Service For domain"
     Enter the Domain To be Served
     Enter the IP Address of the Master (Primary) Server

One word of caution if you are providing Reverse Lookup (PTR Records) for a
class C or Subclass C subnet.
The RaQ2 screws up the /etc/named.conf file and must be corrected everytime you
change (save DNS GUI)
The error is in a line that will look like:
zone "nn/nn.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file
"pri.nn-nn.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; };
This line should read:
zone "nn-nn.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file
"pri.nn-nn.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; };
Note the nn/nn in the first example above is incorrect.
should be nn-nn
This line would be 00-24 for a class c network
Or might be 32-28 for a subnet of 16 addresses.
