I am currently running a Redhat rpm version of Bind.  Once I get enough
time, I will remove the rpm and compile from source.

The logs currently only tell me when Bind starts that it read the
/etc/named.conf file.  I am not getting a log messages about my slave
servers grabbing my zone files.  I figured the xfer-out category would log
each time my slave server updated its zone files with my master.  Am I
incorrect about this?
