The output you showed indicated a NOTAUTH error, which implies something
wrong with TSIG authentication/verification. Are you sure the slave has the
correct key files configured in the proper directory?

I don't understand the question. When you say "update" do you mean "zone
transfer"? This is normally triggered by a NOTIFY message sent from the
master to the slave. Or did you mean Dynamic Update? Slaves don't accept
Dynamic Updates (or if they do, they just forward them to the master).
