Somehow I think zone transfers is the approach.  But to be safe, one might
have to deny all and then specify which ones to allow.

I don't know exactly how it works, but I believe that's the option...
One system(slave) polls the other(master) for the zone information

I would have to allow you to access my information, and your system needs to 
be set to "reach out" and grab my information.

There's a series of posts on Carrie's forum that mentions zone
transfers...but more in the line of preventing them, rather than allowing
them.
