Secondaries not pulling zone...

[Bob McGregor]

I am having the same type of problem with my domain gfps.k12.mt.us between =
the 8.3.0 Bind on NT and 9.2.0 on Redhat.  When I do a dig axfr the file =
does not transfer successfully.  It looks like all the records are there =
but I get a communiations error:  end of file at the last line.

I also get this message in the named.run file when starting bind on the 9.=
2.0 box.

I have done the named-checkzone and it reports OK for the problem zone.
Are there things to look for in the zone that named-checkzone will not =
report?

thanks, bob
