Bind 9.9.3 slave keep on asking zone tranfer to a 9.10.2.master

Thu Aug 20 14:09:36 UTC 2015

Hello all.
I used since many years Bind on Windows w/o problems.
Now I'm doing a double upgrade: from Windows Server 2003 to 2012 and
from Bind   9.9.3-P2   to   9.10.2-P3   at the same time.
I've already upgraded three server, the Master and two Slaves and
everything seems ok.

There are three other slaves 2003 (I cannot upgrade them right now) that
show a strange behaviour.
They keep on asking zone transfer even if the Master tell them that the
zone is "up to date" (below an example but the log files are full of
these messages).

I use two views (internal and external) but this happen only with the
external view (this is why there is "connected using 10.39.18.12". When
the Master sees this ip it answers with the external zone).
This configuration did not change from the beginning so I think there
must be a "misunderstanding" between Master and Slave...

Where am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Stefano Chiesa.
