Ah, good point. I'll have to try using multiple TSIG keys (IIRC this
is a bind9.3+ enhancement).

This is actually the intended situation. There's only a handful of
zones involved, and the zones for which a master/slave relationship is
useful (I mean: excluding localhost and 0, 127, 255, ...) should have
the same data in all the views on all the hosts.
