I agree. rndc is far better suited to do these things and is designed
specifically for server management and uses TSIG for authentication.

I'd rather see an rndc command added like this:

rndc addslavezone domain-name [view] {masters}

Of course dealing with views could make it difficult to add the zone
to named.conf since you couldn't just append the zone information to
the end of it but that's no more difficult than using the NOTIFY.
At least you would have control over who can add the zone.
