with addition of this:


    category xfer-out {
        default_syslog;
        default_debug;
    };



Inside the logging statement! The response I got below:


03-Dec-2009 00:52:20.105 general: info: zone 
2.178.81.in-addr.arpa/IN/external: refresh: non-authoritative answer 
from master 192.168.1.100#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)

This is for my slave server! I think it's because the authoritative 
answer is coming off my ISP, however though if the zone file is valid is 
should be authoritative and irrelevant whoever else has the zone to my 
understanding anyway..... - oh hang on, on second thought of course it's 
not authoritative due to the IP address that's sending the information! 
I believe that's been my issue all along.

Now however I really do like the log output as I can actually see what's 
going on :-)

I just hope this doesn't take up many CPU cycles and memory as the debug 
commands do in Cisco devices rendering them almost unusable in a fully 
setup network environment.....
