In your original post - you mentioned that you were trying to do

smcewan at symutil$nslookup
Default Server:  localhostAddress:
 127.0.0.1> ls -d eu.nag.net
[localhost]

ls -d is a zone transfer.  If you use an allow transfer statement it
restricts zone transfer to those listed.  If you wish to do transfers from
localhost, then it would need to be included in that list.  There should
only be 1 allow transfer statement per zone (or 1 global one).  If you have
multiple allow-transfer statements each listing 1 server, you will not get
the results you expect.
