HELP!: NT -> Linux zone transfer troubles

I was inaccurate in my original post, sorry.

The zone transfer gets me the "SOA" from the primary as_well_as its "NS" and
"A" record. 

However these are the only records I get. I don't get the rest of the "A"
records!

"dig <domain> axfr @<NT-box>" gets the same information, but...

nslookup on both machines (using the master server for lookup, obviously I
can't use the slave server) does correct lookups for all the machines in the
domain. And I can log into the NT box and look at all the "A" records!

But they don't transfer!!!

I know I must be overlooking something, but I don't know what else to
check!!!

Thanks again to all who offer help!

What happens if you do "dig <domain> axfr @<NT-box>" on the Linux box?  Do
you see all the A records?
