So instead of transferring them, it'd be easier to just maintain the
slave view as a separate zone for which the slave server is the master?

I am starting to remember why I disliked BIND... It'd be nice if a RR
could have a qualifier attached to it, where you could say "return this
one only if the inquirer is in a.b.c.d/e range" and have that replicate.
I am a big fan of All In One Place, but I am also a big fan of Not More
Complex Than Strictly Necessary.
