You don't make dns records for a domain on the slave.
You only fill out the "perform secondary service for domain"
or some such nonsense. I don't use the GUI.
But all the slave needs is sn entry in /etc/named.conf for the domain (zone)
then it gets all it's info from the master.

You do need to go to the master and make the DNS records.
