Thanks Wil.  It still baffles me why anyone would not want the slaves
to get and receive a notification from a trusted master to add a zone
in the remote slaves.  This would save a lot of time.  So, what this
means is that I need to manually(or write a script) to create the new
Zone.  Sorry about the 'records' lingo use poor choice.

I would think that Bind would have thought about this and added the
creation call to the notification method in the master.  Sure would
save lots of time and would be really simple to achieve.  Or I would
think.
