I think the difference between the two approaches is that we:

	0) generate named.inc & zone files
	1) scp named.conf & zone files
	2) rndc reload the satellite servers

and many other people have a script:

	0) generate named.inc & zone files
	1)  scp/rsync named.conf	
	2) rndc reload the satellite servers
	3) use the bind replication mechanism

I claim our approach is slightly simpler as we don't have to increment 
the serial# (perhaps done by SysCP) in the zone files and we have one 
less step. :->
