Problems setting up additional slave server

[Christopher.Lee at uboc.com]

Hello,

I am thinking there maybe a config setting or firewall rule causing this
problem but I can't figure it out.  I am trying to setup a 3rd domain
server at a different location for backup.  I have configured the name
server the exact same as my other slave server but no transfers are
happening.

In the logs I see these errors:

Mar 03 15:11:39.357 xfer-in: error: transfer of 'spiralweb.com/IN' from
66.237.31.102#53: failed to connect: host unreachable
Mar 03 15:11:39.357 xfer-in: info: transfer of 'spiralweb.com/IN' from
66.237.31.102#53: end of transfer

Wierd thing is I can do a dig on info from the primary server but a dig for
axfr fails, see below:

home:/var/log/named# dig @ns1.spiralweb.com spiralweb.com ANY

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @ns1.spiralweb.com spiralweb.com ANY

Can some one give me some hints on where to start looking.  Does AXFR use
tcp instead of UDP and maybe blocked by firewall?
