If you intend on using the master / slave configuration,  you have to 
modify the slave servers config file each and every time you add a new 
zone to the master.  Now, whether you do that manually or with some sort 
of script is up to you.

If you want to use a master / master configuration, you could just use 
rsync to replicate the data (zone files _and_ config files) from one 
server to the other.

There are numerous other variations of the two.
