Changes to zone file not occuring

[Tim Maestas]

	ns1.telstra.net has a serial number of 2001010202 for 
	informetech.com.  informetech.com has a serial number
	of 2001011806.  ns1.telstra.net is not able to zone
	transfer the zone from informtech.com.  Offhand, there
	doesn't seem to be any reason why.  informetech.com is
	answering authoritativly, so there aren't any errors
	in your zone files.  Perhaps there is a firewall blocking
	ns1.telstra.net from zone transfering?  I would check
	with whoever runs the ns1.telstra.net servers and have
	them check their logs for failed zone transfers of
	your zone.
