My primary server Win 2000.
What is the BIND command so that this linux machine can download all zone/domain database from the Win2k primary DNS server ?
Is true a zone inside this linux machine need to be configured as slave zone ?

When you configure the BIND as a secondary DNS server the zones must be slave and after named.reload command the slave DNS server will automatically transfer the info from/to the primary DNS server. Form example in /etc/named.conf you have to definethe zones like this:

zone "example.net" {
type slave;
file "db.example.net";
masters { 194.122.243.11; };
};
