Telling rndc Which IP Address to Use

I have a master DNS server that has two IP addresses - one used for
DNS and one used for non-DNS.  On that master I run rndc to load
zones on slave servers.  On the slave servers I have

     controls{
               inet a.b.c.d port 953
                allow {127.0.0.1; e.f.g.h; } keys { "rndc-key';};
     }

Where "e.f.g.h" is the DNS address for the master server.  Is there a
way on the master to run rndc and tell rndc which IP address to use?
Or do I have to put the non-DNS address of the master in the "controls"
directive on the slaves.  I am running 9.7.2-P3.  Thanks.
