No such possiblity exists at the present time.  If you have to do this
ten times a day, as you claim, then something is wrong.  Wrong, not
with DNS and BIND, but in how you are doing your job.

Write a script to manage your named.conf files on both your master and
slave and then use rcp/scp/ftp to move these files to the servers.

You are working to hard.  Performing repeative tasks is the purpose of
computers!
