Did your test client machine have the slave configured as the second DNS provider?

Maybe the slave isn't working at all ever. Configure your workstation client to only use the slave and see if it works when both the master and slave are running.

It makes me think that the slave is not really a slave. Rather it may be a caching server.
The difference between a master DNS server and a slave DNS server is that the master is where you update the database and then those changes get pushed out to the slaves. Otherwise the slave should behave like a stand alone server.
