Capabilities and limitations of catalog zones

[Aram Sargsyan]

That's right, catalog zones are for synchronizing the list of zones served by the primary, so that the secondaries can retrieve those zones using AXFR/IXFR. You can't even use "allow-transfer" on a forward zone, so it is not meant to be transferred to secondaries. 
  
 A couple of observations about your configuration: 
  
> version IN TXT "2" 
Currently BIND supports only version "1", though it is not being enforced at this moment.
  
 > forwarders { 10..11.12.13; }; 
BIND shouldn't even start with this invalid IP address (two dots).
