You're using dig to do a zone transfer, right? Any other kind of dig 
wouldn't be as useful a test. And you're doing the dig from the slave 
server? Does the transfer take longer than it should? Maybe the transfer 
works from the command line because you're more patient than the 
zone-refresh part of named. Also, double-check your firewall rules. 
Maybe the command-line transfer is using a different source port than 
named is. Make sure that TCP is appropriately open.
