We're moving things around, and I now need to use the 
[transfer-source ip_addr; ]
thing in the options section in named.conf.

But it seems I've missed something. I put the line in 
like this;

options {
        directory "/internet/dns0/zones/";
        query-source address * port 53;
        allow-transfer { 192.65.91/24;
                         };

        listen-on { 192.65.91.129; };
        transfer-source 192.65.91.129;
        statistics-interval 15;
        host-statistics yes;
        datasize 300M;
	  };

but i get this error in the logfile;

28-Oct-1999 12:18:36.879 parser: /internet/dns0/files/named.conf:40: 
syntax error near transfer-source

Maybe BIND 8.2.1 doesnt support it, maybe I've overlooked something,
maybe its something else entirely.

note: theres other stuff in the options block, i just left 
it out
