As for talking across zones the only method I know of is using global variables and have a Repop watcher(invis npc) in each zone that would have Boss Repop that checks the global repop value every so often. When value = 1, if NPC# is not up, then dbspawn NPC# at x,y,z
It would reset all timers in theory. I'm honestly not even sure the repopzone function forces timer completion.

Using qglobals is the way that I did it in the past, and that is one giant fat resource hog of a beast apparently. Most of them have been deprecated and replaced with 'niftier' things.
