Problems with zone transfers

[Danny Mayer]

         If this is the slave's named.conf, then it's wrong.  The slave needs to
  a) be declared as slave and not master ;
  b) reference the master in the zone statement;
  c) you show have the master reference the slave in the zone statement using
      the notify option.
