Admins that have a lot zone churn, adding/deleting zones, multiplied by several slaves, welcome syncing the zone master config to the zone slave config. Using the include { "path/file"; } ; ... statement to isolate all the zone statements into separate files and directories makes the scripting easier and protects the non-zone statements from script errors.
