Zone Transfer not happening

Suprisingly, there is no errors in my syslog file or my messages file in
regards to named

However, after some further investigation I discovered that I can't get a
listing from the primary server that I'm trying to load the zone from.

Meaning; I do a nslookup and point to my primary server, then set type to
"any" then type in the domain name "sub.domain.com", but it just sits there
and does not give any response.

Is it possible that it could be denying me access using the "allow-transfer"
option or is it an misconfigured name server?? Something tells me I need to
talk to the admin of my primary server.

	Named (and named-xfer) log error conditions.  Check your syslog.
