As both master and slave are yours, then you can basically wrap the problem like this:
----
#!/bin/sh
master=1.2.3.4
slave=2.3.4.5
zone=$1

nsd-control -s $master addzone $zone mpattern
nsd-control -s $slave  addzone $zone spattern
----
I.e. it sounds like this is mostly a question of convenience. If that is correct (I may of course be missing your point) then I think it is strongly preferable not to have more complicated control goop built into the servers when the same control can be easily achieved outside the servers.
