No, the local net with the master server was isolated from the internet, and
within one hour the slave server expired its slave zones.

The slave server _is_ auth for "back-bone.dk". And in the Application log I
see "slave zone xxxx expired" messages for all the zones on the server.

I really don't see what the name of the server has to do with fact that it
expires records before it should.
