More to the point, I believe: it refers to the slave *command* in 
named.boot, which I've never even seen, in reference only to the forwarder 
command. I think you may have a point that slave is used in this context... 
however, I interpret that this is in addition to and apart from its usage 
in regards to zones.

A nameserver configured with a slave zone is, thus, acting in a slave role 
*for that zone*. I think I will modify the writing to make it more clear, 
even though I don't agree that the issue mentioned in that page is applicable.

Thanks, though. I'll show you the thing when I've corrected it. I've also 
got to add reverse DNS, and some other little trinkets.

Someone know how I can turn this into a real DNS-Beginners-HOWTO?
