I had a consultant setup BIND 4.9.5 as a primary on our network and we were
using our upstream ISP for our secondary without a problem.
We decided to setup a secondary on our site instead of using the U-ISP for
faster deligation reasons.
I ran the GUI install of BIND and went through the step by step and it
recognised that it was a secondary and knew the ip of the primary.
The problem is that I get no transfering of zones. We have 4 domains that we
host and if I DIG on my primary on any of these domains it is fine and it
lists the secondary there as well. BUT when I DIG on the secondary i get:
;
; <<>> DiG 2.2 <<>> @senna.domain.net.au other.com.au
; (3 servers found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

I think that for some reason my secondary is not being updated from the
primary.
I have the line secondary domain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx domain.db
and the in-addr.arpa as well in the NAMED.BOOT .
What is left.......I found a program called xfer.exe and from the limited
documentation it seems to force a zone transfer but I cannot work out the
syntax as their is very little help on this program.
Please help URGENTLY
