You need to add a record in /etc/named.conf
#======= file /etc/named.conf ============
options {
           directory "/etc/named";
           allow-transfer { ip.ad.re.ss; };  # ip address of master
           version "DNS Server";
        };
zone "." { type hint; file "db.cache"; };
zone "domain.tld" { type master; file "sec.domain.tld"; };

Add a zone record for each domain on youtrserver
The actual dns records are entered on the master. 
The master should have the Qube designated as a slave.
When you make changes to named.conf run the command ndc reload

Actually if the master is configured properly and is UP you should not be 
having any problems.
