That's what I expected, but it's nice to hear someone else say it.

Again, what I expected. What about the reference to ixfr? I know
there's an axfr and and ixfr, but I don't know the difference between
them. Could the manual copy be doing and axfr and the automatic
transfer is failing because it's doing an ixfr?

One thing I didn't notice until after I sent my message is that the
manual transfer copies the file, but doesn't load the zone. Should
it load the zone?

Nothing, really. A few informational "interogated" messages and
one warning that the directory is "world-writable". However, it does
say I'm loading BIND 8.2.3-T6B-NT Nov 5, 2000. I've just re-
downloaded and rechecked all my file dates. All my executables
are dated 1/27/01, the same as what is in the newly downloaded
.zip file, so I can only assume I'm on the released version?

Hmm...a CNAME at the root of the zone? That I don't understand.
With the risk of being presumptuous, I've inclued the zone file from
the master at the bottom.
Also, today I've noticed an error on my private, behind the firewall
name servers (the ones we've been talking about). They both
report
23-Feb-2001 18:19:54.000 default: info: sysquery: findns error
(NXDOMAIN) on ns2.aspenres.com?
and
07-Mar-2001 08:05:39.000 default: info: sysquery: findns error
(NXDOMAIN) on ns1.aspenres.com?
ns1 and ns2 are my public name servers outside my firewall. I'm
into http://www.acmebw.com/askmrdns/bind-messages.htm
looking for an clue now, but any suggestions welcome. I must
have something misconfigured, but I'm not sure what.
