if you update a zonefile, adding or removing records, all you need to do
is 'rndc reload' on the master.  The slaves should receive a NOTIFY
and reload automatically ( if NOTIFY is not supported they will 
reload within the "refresh" time given in SOA for the zone)

There is no need to do anything with the slaves unless you add or change 
complete zones.
