problems with zone transfer

[Lance Miller]

I am trying to host a slave on my name servers.
The primary dns is a windows box, and the secondary are bind Linux
boxes.

I cannot execute a zone transfer with dig or the named.conf file.

Here is an example of the secondary bind named.conf file
I've replaced the origin, domain, and ip.=20

zone "domain.com" in {
        type slave;
        notify no;
        file "external/domain.com.db";
        allow-query {external; };
        masters { 1.2.3.4;};
};

The Primary windows server records have both of my servers listed in the
NS records.=20

Also, this domain is part of the state level domain.=20
Like school.k12.state.us

When I go to dnsstuff.com and get a report I get the following error.

Took off 20 points since abc.foo.edu does not respond authoritatively
(can cause unexpected responses and add delays). I have no idea on what
this means.

When I try to do a manual zone transfer with dig I get the following
answer

# dig school.k12.state.us  axfr

; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> domain.com axfr
;; global options:  printcmd
; Transfer failed.

Logs from a transaction;

'domain.com' (in 'messages:Sep 28 12:28:34 ns1 resolving
'Hellgate.k12.mt.us' (in 'hellgate.k12.mt.us'?): 12.32.34.32#53
messages:Sep 28 12:28:34 ns1 named[196]: lame server resolving
'domain.com' (in 'domain.com''?): 1.2.3.4#53


BTW I am running starting BIND 9.2.3=20


Any ideas on why this is happening?

In short I cannot get this zone to transfer.

Thanks in advance!
