Cool!

Examples that work for me:

### Master:

zone "kalamazoolinux.org" {
        type master;
        file "db.kalamazoolinux";
};


### Slave:

zone "kalamazoolinux.org" {
        type slave;
        masters { 192.168.2.200; };
        file "db.kalamazoolinux";
};


You also may need to allow zone transfers in your named.conf files.
In the "options" section.  i.e.:

        allow-transfer { 192.168.2/24; };
