INSERT INTO supermasters VALUES ('160.80.1.8','ns3.uniroma2.it',NULL);

On the primary server, simply configure 160.80.3.5 as a nameserver for 
whatever domains you want it to host in their zone files.
You have to use the domain name you used in the INSERT statement above 
otherwise PowerDNS will ignore the notify.

Now, whenever the primary server sends a notify for a new domain, PowerDNS 
will honour that request (and add the domain to its tables) if a) it came 
from 160.80.1.8 and b) ns3.uniroma2.it was listed as an NS record.

Mark.
