How to dump zone data from Dynamic Update in bind9

[Jeffrey]

Barry and Kevin:

Thanks for the tip.  Now I can use "dig -t AXFR my.domain
@my.dns.server" to see all my authorative zone data.  Any other better
tool for zone transfer?

I still have trouble using "rndc dumpdb" to dump the authorative zone
data.  It only shows me the cache data.  What can be wrong?
