zone transfer is slow to dns servers running bind 9.2.4

[Dawn Connelly]

My first thought is do the new servers have different IPs than the ones you
were using before? If so, are they getting the notify packets? It sounds
like they aren't getting notified when there is a change so is only doing a
zone transfer when the slave asks the master if it's serial number is still
good. If don't want to put them in to production yet, then you probably
don't have an NS record in the zone file...if there is no NS record, you can
use a global 'also-notify' option on your master server.
