ports named uses

[Lordy]

Hi Sally,

you should know that there is a difference between normal queries
and AXFRs (zone-transfers). While normal queries are done via port
53/UDP, zone-transfers are done via TCP.

Check your named.conf for an allow-transfer statement and check
if your firewall or whatever allows tcp connections to your primary
on port 53.

Regards,
Lordy
