The slaves will have a configuration ( a "zone declaration" ) . Removing
the zone from the master will not change this. What happens is that=20
when the slaves has fail to kontact the master for "expire period" they
will fail all answers for queries about that zone.

If you remove the zone from your master you must also remove the correspo=
nding
zone statement from all slaves.

( "expire period" is the 6'th parameter in the SOA record)
