AFAIK there is no such animal.  Rather than doing your rsync solution,
I think you're better off writing a script to update the zones in
named.conf by parsing the zones on the master and converting them to
slave zones, and doing a proper zone transfer.  Let DNS work for you.
If your slave is a 1 for 1 coopy of the zones on the master, this
should be easy.

This is an excellent idea for a feature request.  A slave should have
the ability to contact a master and ask what zones it should slave, so
that a minimal config can be installed without requiring any
maintenance...
