slave to slave zone transfer

[Kevin Darcy]

This is all very confusing. You seem to be mixing *domain* names, *zone* names
and *host* names together as if they were interchangeable.

Why don't you just list each *host*, what relevant *zones* are defined on it as
"master" or "slave", what zone transfers are failing, and what the logs say
about those zones on a) the master for the zone, when it loads, and when failed
transfers occur, and b) any unsuccessful slaves for the zone. Then someone
might have a chance at putting their finger on the cause of the problem....
