  Oct 30 01:15:19 ns2 named[21315]: Ready to answer queries.
  Here I get some expired zones.
  Oct 30 01:20:30 ns2 named[21315]: attempted to fetch zone jtinternet.com 
from 
  se
  lf (216.32.58.7)
  
  For some odd reason I can't get the secondary to reproduce the cache.db 
file 
  or the jtinternet.com.db file.  jtinternet.com.db holds the zone 
information 
  for the secondary name server itself.  This is the strangest thing.

  Is 
   there any particular reason this would happen.  I am running bind 8.1.2 as 
   default in solaris 7 X86.

    I suspect not.  I was able to get a zone transfer from his primary with no
    problem, so it seems like his slave should as well.

    Try running named-xfer with debugging and tracing enabled:
    
    named-xfer -z networkamerica.org -f /tmp/xfer.db -s 0 -d 3 -l 
/tmp/xfer.log 
   216.32.58.6
    
    This will create a file /tmp/xfer.log.<randomness> that contains the
    debugging information.
