No.  Secondary DNS has to be configured explicitly on a per-zone basis.
There's no way for a slave server to interrogate the master server to find
out all its zones, so the slave can't automatically configure itself.

And why would you want this?  The main reason for delegating a subzone is
because you want to have different servers for the two zones.

Of course.  This is why there's a difference between a domain and a zone.
You don't have to create a subzone just because you're creating a
subdomain.
