You can use any authoritative for the zone name server. One of the masters
is good enough.

slaves you can just set few masters for each zone. For example:

zone "example.com" {
           type slave;
           file "/var/named/example.com.zone";
           masters { master_ip_address; master_ip_address; ... };
}

When named receives NOTIFY for a zone it will check one by one the servers
from the "masters" list.

Hope someone has gone through this trauma.
