In the master you need set the  "maintain-ixfr-base" option for the 
zone.  You than need to use
dynamic updates to make changes to your zone.

zone "example.com" IN {
         type master;
         allow-update { localhost; <list of IP addresses>; };
         file "example.com.db";
     maintain-ixfr-base yes;
}
