Hi D_wathi

Slave zones are for domain names, not for networks.

in bind, a slave zone is defined as follows:

// named.conf fragment
zone "example.com" in {
    type slave;
    file "slave.example.com";
    masters {192.168.2.7; 10.2.3.15 port 1127; 2001:db8:0:1::15;};
};

As you see, the slave define the ip address of the master DNS server, and in the Master you need to add
  slaves { ip.of.your.slave.dns.server};

That's it.

on the  named.conf  the statement is  masters {192.168.2.7; 10.2.3.15 port 1127; 2001:db8:0:1::15;};

I did not understand the   2001:db8:0:1::15; which is in masters above statement. Please help me.

masters {192.168.2.7; 10.2.3.15 port 1127; 2001:db8:0:1::15;};

This is a IPv6 address. You don't have to use a IPv6 address if you don't want to.

masters {192.168.2.7; 10.2.3.15 port 1127; 2001:db8:0:1::15;};

This is an example of specifying a port if a DNS server uses a non-standard port.

You could use this format (replace the IP with your master DNS):

masters {192.168.2.7;};

TobiasHolmCommented:
Yes, it's no problem to have the slave in a different network, as long as you can reach it from your master server. You could use ping to verify that you can reach your slave DNS from your master DNS (if you have allowed ping in your network).

Sir thank you very much, finally one last request, In the master server is it required to create a slave zones ( forward and reverse zone files), please suggest.

TobiasHolmCommented:
You don't have to create a zone file for the slave on the master, but you have to allow transfers. Read more here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto

"First, on the primary master server, the zone transfer needs to be allowed. Add the allow-transfer option to the sample Forward and Reverse zone definition in /etc/bind/named.conf.local:"
