Slaving from DNS masters behind LVS

Dear Folks,

We have a pair of DNS servers running BIND behind a direct routing LVS
director pair running keepalived.  Let's call these two DNS servers A
and B, and the VIP V.

They slave from a hidden master; let's call it M.

I want to allow another machine S to slave from A and B, the pair of
DNS servers that are behind LVS.

Another machine F will forward to the DNS servers behind the load
balancer, A and B.

[There is another similar setup at another location, so there will
be a V1 and V2, A1, A2, B1, B2; all of A1, A2, B1, B2 slave from M.]

1. Should the machine in the SOA be V, or A or B?
2. Should the NS records for the zones be A, B and V, or just V?
3, Should S slave from A and B, or should it slave from V?
4. Should F forward to V, or to both A and B?
