Yup, have a look at Puppet.
For the first while it will seem like way way more work than it is worth (and
the whole declarative language bit makes my head hurt) but after investing a
few hours getting things setup you'll wonder how you ever managed without it…
Deploying a new server (or configs, etc to a bunch of servers) suddenly becomes
trivial...

Setup Puppet to distribute the file, and then have an exec action that does:
rndc addzone example.com '{type master; file "master/example.com"; };'
on master(s) and:
rndc addzone example.com '{type slave; master 192.0.2.1; };'
on devices that you have told Puppet are slaves.
