You could run a script after updating the master named.conf file.
The script would generate a slave named.conf file,
The script would then start an rsync (ssh) session to sync the file with the
slave.
Of course this would require that the slave only serve your master.
And that a cron job check to see if named.conf was updated, to
reload named.
You could send it an email, and a daemon on the slave would rewrite
named.conf and perform a reload.
