Similar, but not quite. On the primary, you declare it to be a
"master" for a particular zone, and to pull its information for that
zone from a file. On a secondary, you declare it to be a "slave" and
to try to pull copies of the data from one or more "masters", and to
then *store* the information it has about that zone in a particular
file.
These two operations are very similar, but not quite exactly the same.

Yup. You need to create the appropriate /etc/named.conf entry
for the zone.
