Set up a slave zone. This is thoroughly described in "DNS and BIND",
and should be pretty intuitive anyway. Just:

zone "testdomain.com" {
	type slave;
	masters { ip_of_master1; [optional_ip_of_master2; [...]] };
	file "testdomain.com.slave";
};

this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
