That is exactly what I thought you said.
On RaQ #2 Slave (secondary)
Enable DNS
Go into the parameters GUI
For each domain you want to provide a Slave (secondary) nameserver for
"Add Secondary Name Service for Domain."
Enter the Domain "domain.com"
On the 2nd line enter the Master (primary) IP Address.
this will build the named.conf file for the Slave (secondary).
When you finish,
save changes and your Slave (secondary) is running.

You have to do it one domain at a time.

Each entry will cause a line in /etc/named.conf like this
zone "domain.com" { type slave; file "sec.domain.com"; masters {
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn;
 }; };
When named starts up it will get all the
sec.domain.com files from the master!
