You need to use "transfer-source (ip4_addr | *) [port ip_port] ; ]" but since
you only use 1 ip it's difficult.

Did i hear you say "slave" and "at the same location" ? Bad idea. Place
your slave at least at your ISP, then the sourceaddress for zonetransfer
will come from outside.

And, do upgrade bind-9.1.3 it's quite old.
