This won't guarentee that the zone actually was loaded by the secondary, just that it transferred to it. The very best way to test that the secondary is in operation WITHOUT calling the admin is to simply shut down the primary namserver for a couple of days. If at the end of it the secondary is still properly answering queries then your good to go. Of course, you want to be testing this from a 3rd system elsewhere. This duplicates the Real Life environment almost exactly.
