It doesn't. The syntax of BIND4's config file is completely different
from that in BIND8 and BIND9. The file even has a different name! And
there is no allow-transfer clause in BIND4.

IIRC there was something called xfernets, but this entailed using
special compile-time options and then putting weird xfernets TXT
records in the zone files. I could well be wrong about this as it's
been a while since I looked at software that's been as long dead as
BIND4. The original poster should upgrade to BIND9 or at least 8.2.3.
