Force constant zone transfer: Bind V4 and V8

Hi,
I'd appreciate suggestions before I do anything dumb in this case:

We have a SunOS 5.5 box (#1) and Solaris 2.6 Sparc box (#2). Bind V4 on
#1 and V8 on #2.

The problem: #2 is main NS for a zone that's dynamically updated
constantly. But #1 seems
to do zone transfer from #2 only once an hour.

Is there a way to force zone transfer? I'm also considering just
installing V8 on #1. But since
it's a machine in production (tons of sites on it)....

And a question is: When I do a query on the newly updated DN ( only
availble on #2 at that
moment), using some wild NS(#A), it would go to query #2, or #1. It's
like randomly done. Isn't
#A supposed to go ask #2 (primary NS) first, and then try #1(secondary
NS)?

Thank you very much,
