It avoids the need for two different configurations.

Configuration A the master, configuration B the slave, doubles your work
load.

Where as you write a few scripts to ensure the master is updated
correctly, and then rsync it, you can readily ensure the same tested
configuration is deployed to multiple servers.

However I'm worried anyone would ask how to do it.

You either know how to set up a master server or you don't, if you know
how to do it, doing it N times is hardly challenging. May be the OP
never used rsync before.

I'm worried about the 99% of updates would occur on the one server. I
figure this means 1% of updates will probably get lost, since you really
don't want to get into multimaster replication, even at the zone file
level. I'd do 100% of updates on a test server, and deploy when it all
works.
