Question on Bind 8.2.2P5

[Bhangui_S]

So if I understand this correctly let us say I do not want to do zone
transfer to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and if that IP address is not listed in the
"allow-transfer" option in named.conf than will the transfer be NOT allowed
or will it allow the transfer (since that is the default behaviour for
named) and log of unappproved transfer in the "var/adm/messages".

Thanks
Sandeep

As I said in the message you replied to, this is controlled by the
allow-transfer option.  Your machine obviously has this configured, or it
wouldn't be logging the messages you posted.
