Since named in known to handle zones with many millions of
records there will be something specific with your setup
that is causing problems. The name of the zone would be
useful and the IP address of the master server along with
permission to transfer the zone so we could perform tests
against the server. Also the versions of named (named-xfer)
involved. Without these there will only be guesses.
You could also check your logs to see what they are reporting.
