The problem being addressed is not one of zone transfer.  It is one of
adding and deleting zone definitions on the slave servers when zones
are added and deleted on the master server.

It seems to me that the administrator(s) of the master server and the
administrator(s) of the slave servers have to have a procedure
detailing the notification for zone additions and zone deletions.
When I agree to have one of my DNS servers be the slave server for
someone else's domain, I expect the admin of the master to inform me
when the zone is deleted or when the master IP address has changed.
I also have the responsibility to check the logs for any errors
associated with the zone I am slaving, and to report those errors to
the admin of the master.
