Thanks for the feedback, I grabbed this code earlier compiled it and tried
it between two 8.2.3 servers and IXFR didn't seem to be working.

In my named.conf file, I have two IXFR statements; one in the zone
configuration and another statement set globally ( I forget the exact
commands)

Thanks,
Dave

    Can anyone give me the status of IXFR?  Also, according to the
    documentation, CLIENT side IXFR is disabled.  Could someone tell me the
    difference between client and server IXFR functionality?   Will full
    IXFR
    functionalty be available in the final release of 8.3 or will it first
    be
    available in Bind 9?


  If you need IXFR today go get BIND 8.2.3 t1a
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/testing/.t1a/

  What is in BIND 8.2.2 P5 had enough bugs that I rewrote the code.
  Both Client and Server side IXFR in 8.2.2 P5 have bugs.
  Client side of IXFR is the code in named-xfer and Server side is what is
in named.
  IXFR will be in both BIND 8.2.3 and BIND 9 and in their respective test
releases.
