If you're talking about individual records within zones, then yes, the 
deletions should definitely show up. Are you correctly updating zone 
serials on the master so that the slave knows there's been a change in 
the zone? If you're using autoserials, you should touch the timestamp 
field on at least one other record (the SOA is a good choice).

However, if you mean deleted *zones*, then no, there's not a way in the 
DNS protocol to express "this zone is going away". It sounds like Mark 
has a simple PHP script, and I actually have a small Perl script, to 
prune old zones out of the data store. That's really the best way to 
handle that problem.
