[olug] secondary slave server

[Blaufuss, Shane]

BIND will populate the slave zone file itself when one of two things
happens: 1. you restart the nameserver, i.e. /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart
or rndc -y [rndckey name] reload, and it goes out and checks the master for
updates, or 2. the master name server sends you a NOTIFY of a status change
for that particular domain.  If you're not getting these, make sure that
permissions on the zone file directory (mine is /var/named/slave/) allow
"named" to write to it, and that the master server is configured to
recognize your slave server as its slave.
