Problem with DDNS and Bind 8.1.2

Running into a problem running Bind 8.1.2, DHCP 2.0b1pl6 (yes, I know
it's old, but there's no update without moving to a 2.2.x kernel+other
work) and the DHCP-DNS perl scripts.  I have two DNS servers (a master @
.14 and a slave @ .15) also acting as DHCP servers on a private class c
network.  They both serve a range of 100 ip addresses (from .51 to .150
and from .151 to .250, so there is no overlap).  The following messages
are appearing in the logs on the master DNS server, and the files on the
slave server are not getting updated as the master files are changed.

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

TIA,

Ken McCord
