Error in zone transfer

[Mohammed Ghanawi]

Now both the secondary and master, are on 8.2.2-p5. And I have
specifically specified

transfer-format one-answer in the options, but the same result.

Could this be due to the fact that our master is on ATM, and the secondary
on 10Mbits/shard connection ?

Thanks ...
