limiting frequency of zone transfers

bind 8.3.3-REL-patched 


hello,


we are secondary for a bunch of subdomains and the admin 
in one of those subdomains is asking why primary 
name-server is talking to my name-server every ten minutes?


I searched and I found reference  to 
that ten minutes here (I think):

..../src/bin/named/ns_defs.h 



I have then two Questions:


1. I understand that values there (ns_defs.h) are 
   compile time and will apply to all operations.
   I like to know what value do I need to change in 
   that .h file?
   INIT_REFRESH ?
   MIN_REFRESH ?
   MIN_RETRY ?
   



2. BIND 9.x has the feature called [max|min]-refresh-time 
   that (if I read it correctly) will give me per zone granularity 
   of doing what I am asking.  
   How do I do that in BIND 8?




Thanks,
Farid
