Secondaries not pulling zone...

[Justin Scott]

Hey all, I'm running into a problem with my two slaves not pulling a certain
zone from the master.  The zone in question is darktech.org.  This zone has
several thousand records.

The master is NS1.DARKTECH.ORG (12.45.95.225) running BIND 8.3.0 on Windows
2000 Server.  Slaves are NS2.DARKTECH.ORG (BIND 8.2.5 on FreeBSD,
12.45.95.243) and NS3.DARKTECH.ORG (BIND 9.1.2 on RedHat Linux, IXFR
disabled, 206.102.192.196).

These slaves are secondary for about 1500 zones on the master, and the rest
of them work just fine.  It's just this one zone that refuses to transfer.
The log on the master says it's accepting an AXFR from NS2.DARKTECH.ORG, but
the zone never shows up there.  Currently the two slaves are reporting
SERVFAIL messages for queries on the domain.

Any help or input on this would be appreciated.

PS: Yes, as a DNS service admin I should be able to figure this out, but
this one is just not working for the life of me.
