Master and slave are configured on a zone-by-zone basis.  It's quite 
possible (and common) for a server to be a slave for some zones and 
master for others.  As far as the servers are concerned there's no 
difference between forward and reverse zones, they're just zones that 
happen to consist mostly of particular types of records.
