Timed out while zone transfer

[Gaston Benitez]

HI,
some of these questions maybe help you catch the problem

If you have a firewall, are you allowing tcp port 53 to pass, it is used for 
zone transfers?
has the dns box some firewall working on it?
Are the allow-transfers {..} and masters {...} statements, in the master and 
slave config files?

at first glance, it seems to be a connection problem, have you full 
conectivity between master and slave?
