Secondary not updating after upgrade to 8.2.3

[Carol Deihl]

A couple of suggestions to try, learned the hard way:

- If you are running bind chroot'ed, and if your named-xfer is
compiled dynamically-linked, ensure that the necessary libraries
are at appropriate places in the chroot area. For example, you may
need something like /usr/lib/libc.so.3 and /usr/lib/libutil.so.2.
Try running named-xfer by hand and see if it complains. Apparently
when it's started by named, if the libraries aren't present, it
doesn't complain to any log files or other visible place that I
could find.

- Double-check any IP addresses in your named.conf file,
on both the master and the slave servers, especially in these
options (if you use them): listen-on, allow-transfer, query-source,
and transfer-source 

Hope this helps.
