We use views and they are ungly.  We also have about 10 views serving
different groups of interests - parent company in Japan, business partners
etc.  Our master and slaves are resolvers also.  But we do not have
"match-destinations" in our config.  We only have "match-clients" and zone
transfers seem to work fine.  And as a result, we do not have 20 views like
you - just 10.  May be you should check.

The situation we are in, it is more beneficial if Views are operated within
the Zone statements rather than the other way round - the current way.
