Yes, this is exactly how I run a DNS master/slave system, although I use Bind 
as the master for historical reasons.

Assuming you're setting up a slave using MySQL,  If you've followed something 
like 
http://downloads.powerdns.com/documentation/html/generic-mypgsql-backends.html 
then you need to add an entry to the "supermasters" table to allow the Slave 
to honour things that the Master tells it.

        INSERT INTO supermasters VALUES ('192.168.1.1','ns2.example.com',NULL);

This configures pdns to be a Slave for any domains that the master (IP address 
192.168.1.1) tells it, via a notify, where it is listed as an NS record with 
the hostname "ns2.example.com".
Pdns will add the domain to the "domains" table, then perform a zone-transfer 
to pull the domain data.


Mark.
