BIND 9.3.2 Release Notes

The masters_list option specifies one or more IP addresses of master servers, which
the slave can contact to update its copy of the zone. The masters_list elements can
also be names of other master lists. This list can be used in the masters clause in the
zone statement.
Following is a sample acl statement that assigns a symbolic name to an address match
list:
acl acl1 {
15.70.190.186; 15.70.190.115;
};
Following is a sample zone statement with the masters clause:
zone "example.com" {
type slave;
masters {acl1;};
file "db.example";
};
Where:
acl1 specifies the name of the list of master name servers.
