However, the primary dns server is unable to transfer the zone files over to the secondary dns server when there are changes done to it. I did increment the serial number and the ip address were specified correctly. I've included the config files for my primary & secondary dns server. Please let me know if you sopt the problem.

Could be lots of things.  Your posting contained modified files, so we
may never know.  The two most likely things I can think of off the top
of my head are (a) syntax errors in the zone files, so the master can
answer queries but does not feel itself authoritative enough to
transfer zones, and (b) your zone transfer blockages accidentally block
your designated slaves.  Either should leave distinctive traces in your
log files.  What do your log files say?
