No, the standards-defined replication protocols (AXFR and IXFR) are
strictly "pull" to the slaves, not "push" to them.

But, you can _trigger_ the pulls via NOTIFY, which should address any
concerns you have about speed of propagation.

And there's nothing to stop you from implementing your own out-of-band
replication mechanism (in BIND terms, you'd then configure the slaves as
"master", and you'd have to come up with some way of making them reload the
zone file whenever a new version is transferred).
