On which server did you add this?  This should be on the master, not the 
slave.

The master should have a "master" statement, the slave should have a 
"slave" statement.  There are examples in the DNS & BIND book that show 
exactly how they should look.

This usually means named isn't running.  Check your log to see why it's 
crashing.

Maybe you could post your named.conf files from the master and slave and 
we can tell what's wrong.
