Seen in my log:

named_axfr_complained("transfer of 'sotun.de/IN' from 88.198.56.107#53: resetting","Mar-26","10:30:55").
named_axfr_complained("transfer of 'sotun.de/IN' from 88.198.56.107#53: failed while receiving responses: REFUSED","Mar-26","10:30:56").
named_axfr_in("Mar-26","10:30:56","88.198.56.107","sotun.de").
named_serial("Mar-26","10:30:56","sotun.de","2007032601").

named_axfr_in("Mar-26","10:30:56","62.75.137.233","sotun.de").
named_notify("Mar-26","10:30:56","sotun.de","2007032601").

I had to go back almost a month to find it.

Bind 9.4.0 did have a problem with server 88.198.56.107.
Maybe the machine was refreshing or garbadge collecting.
Nevertheless it did succeed.

But it did transfer the zone a second time, now from 62.75.137.233.


I do find REFUSED but, mostly from resolving not from axfr transfers.
It occures very rarely here.


Kind regards
