Using the standard mechanism, they can't. You need to arrange that 
the slave does something different for the different views so that 
you can use views on the master to differentiate. There are a number 
of ways to do this ...

1) Use different querying ports on the slave and have the master 
detect this (with views).

2) Use different serving ports on the master and either run multiple 
instances of BIND or differentiate with views.

3) Use different querying IP addresses on the slave and have the 
master detect that (with views).

4) Use different serving IP addresses on the master and either run 
multiple instances of BIND or differentiate with views.

5) Use different master servers alltogether for each view.
