Yes.  Unless you are using the new Incremental Zone Transfer feature.
Then it only does a complete download the first time, and copies down
the changes on subsequent downloads.

There's no provision for even specifying any records in a slave
("secondary") server that are not in the master.  The idea is that all
authoritative servers for a domain are supposed to be serving IDENTICAL
information.

Why do you want to make one [or more] have different information?
