In your /etc/named.conf:
zone "<zone name>" {
type slave;
file "<file name>";
masters {
<address of master>;
<optionally, address of another slave, for redundancy>;
<another slave, if you want>;
<et cetera>;
};
};
If you're more comfortable with the BIND 4 (named.boot) syntax, you
could always create the boot file with that syntax and use the
named-bootconf.pl script to convert it into BIND 8 format.
Oh, and the docs that come with BIND 8 most definitely *do* explain how
to define a slave. Check out doc/html/zone.html.
