This has got to be the MOST frequently asked question in this group.  
Did you try searching the archives before asking?

The answer is that the DNS protocol provides no mechanism for this.  But 
it shouldn't be hard for you to write a script in a language like perl 
that reads your master's named.conf and creates a named.conf file for 
the slaves, and then uses scp to copy it over to them.
