We run several hesiod secondaries.  Both the primary & secordary servers
are running 4.9.3-Beta17

It works with 4.9.3-Beta17 but almost certainly not for 4.8.3.

You can in 4.9.3-Beta17.  Here's my "hesiod.db" from our hesiod primary:

;
; Authoritative data for ns.cs.colorado.edu, class HS
;
@		HS	SOA	cs.colorado.edu. hostmaster.cs.colorado.edu. (
			9506047	; Serial Number
			7200		; Refresh - check every 2 hours for now
			1800		; Retry   - 30 minutes
			1209600		; Expire  - 2 weeks
			7200 )		; Minimum - 2 hours for now
		HS	NS	cs.colorado.edu.
;
; Security stuff.  We only allow hesiod (HS) records to CU nets
;
secure_zone    HS      TXT     128.138.0.0:255.255.0.0
secure_zone    HS      TXT     198.11.16.0:255.255.255.0
secure_zone    HS      TXT     127.0.0.1:H
