Second paragraph:

  In BIND 9, it is relatively simple to switch a server from secondary to
  primary in real time: if you store the data in a file, simply redefine
  the zone type and change type master; to type slave;.

That seems to me to be saying secondary == master and primary == slave.

There seems to be a mixing of metaphors here. I don't think combining the traditional and newspeak terminology contributes to clarity. In any case I'd rewrite this as:

  In BIND 9, it is relatively simple to switch a server from primary to
  secondary in real time: if you store the data in a file, simply redefine
  the zone type and change type primary; to type secondary;.
