It depends on what you want.
A DNS server can do different tasks.
One is serving authoritative information.

For one zone (e.g. example.org), there exists a master and there can
exist slaves (also called secondary).

If you have multiple zones, a server can be master for one zone and
slave for another.

Other settings like recursive resolving for your clients can have
completely independent setting, depending on your needs.

You need to tell us more what you want to accomplish.
