When loading a primary zone for the first time, if the zonefile does not exist but an "initial-file" option has been set, then a new file will be copied into place from the path specified by "initial-file". This can be used to simplify the process of adding new zones. For instance, a template zonefile could be used by running: $ rndc addzone example.com \ '{ type primary; file "example.db"; initial-file "template.db"; };'
