Automatic Secondary NS

[Chris Buxton]

There are such tools available. However, they tend to cost money.

[warning: sales pitch ahead]

I normally wouldn't make such a blatant commercial pitch, but it does 
directly address the question. If you're interested in a commercial 
solution, we make one, called QuickDNS. When using QuickDNS to manage 
your servers, when you create a zone, master and slave servers are 
all configured automatically. When you save a change to a zone, it is 
immediately reloaded on both master and slave servers, without going 
through a whole restart sequence.

If you're interested in more details, please see the website 
referenced in my signature.
