Re: copying primary DNS records to secondary

QuickDNS 4.0.2 will include some AppleScripts. One will configure a
server as slave for all master zones on your other server(s).

A pair of them will export and import (back up and restore) your
zones, including slave zone configuration. These use the same data
format as the 3.5 scripts called Export Server Configuration and
Import Server Configuration, which do the same thing.
