Aaron, thank you very much Sir... I was actually just reading about this
entry on the named.conf file "allow-transfer"... Thanks again for your
feedback. This will get me going.
Rafael.

Or can I configured

of course. you'll need to restart the primary's named after you add the
necessary config changes, of course.. see below.
I 've read that I need a named.boot file which would perhaps look like
this on the 'secondary' server. I guess this file would go in /etc
somewhere?
what you want is to allow transfers from the main dns. so, in the zone config
for the domain you'll want something like:
zone "mydomain" in {
type master;
file "mydomain";
allow-transfer { <address of secondary goes here> };
};
then on the secondary, you need to set it up something like:
zone "mydomain" {
type slave;
file "mydomain";
masters{ <address of primary goes here> };
};
restart the primary's named first so it know to allow transfers to that
secondary. then restart the secondary's named...
btw, O'Reilly makes a really good book on DNS and BIND
