You must be sure that the zone file contains both master and slave 
nameservers.

You can check this by doing
dig @master.nameserver.tld domain.tld
Make sure both nameservers are listed in the authority section.

Then run;
dig @slave.nameserver.tld domain.tld
To make sure the slave answers authoritively for the domain

Note: primary and secondary terms are depreciated, the correct terms are 
master and slave.
