What's your problem? 139.130.4.5 isn't matched by either 203.50.2.74
or 203.50.1.64/26, so the zone transfer is denied - the desired
behavior.

If you _want_ 139.130.4.5 to be able to do zone transfers from your
master, just add it to the allow-transfer{} clause.

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
