Simple problem is search of a simple solution

Given a set of name servers, A, B, C, and D, all running BIND 8.2.x,
and given that server A is generally used as the master for all of
the zones that these servers are authoritative for, and given that
B, C, and D are generally used as slaves for all such zones, is there
any way to add a brand new zone to A in a way that makes it unnecessary
to also go around and also manually diddle all of the /etc/named.conf
files on all of the other servers, B, C, and D?
I am in a situation where I am going to be adding LOTS of authoritative
zones to A, and to the /etc/named.conf file of A, and I really don't
want to have to go around to all of the other (slave) servers each time
I add such a (new) zone and manually edit all of THEIR /etc/named.conf
files also.
Surely I'm not the first person to have mentioned this as a problem, right?
Surely someone must have solved this problem by now, right?
If someone would be kind enough to point me at the solution, I would
greatly appreciate it.
P.S. I am not actually a subscriber to the bind-users list, so please
CC me (rfg at monkeys.com) on any response. Thanks.
