(this is one area I think I am making it hard for myself).

The DNS protocol has this all built-in. On the secondary DNS server, you specify the IP address of the primary, and it will attempt to transfer the zone file automatically. You do have to enter the IP address of secondary servers into the allow list of the primary for this to work.
