The simplest way is to just change the line "type slave" to "type master"
and remove the "masters { ...};" line, and similarly changing the old
master to a slave.  The zone file that the slave writes is usable as a
master zone file, so once you do this you can just start editing that file.

There's no "gradual migration" possible (at least, not easily).  A server
is either master or slave for a zone, not anything in between.
