BIND Master, Win2k Slave problem

Hi, first posting to the list, so please be gentle (Little confused as to
which list I should use also):

I've been trying to get our Win2k servers to be secondary (slaves) for our
BIND 9.2.2rc1 master.

Things have been a little hokey however.  

The following error has been showing up in my log.

Jan 21 16:22:24 watson named[7024]: client 192.168.254.2#1234: transfer of
'206.207.in-addr.arpa/IN': AXFR started
Jan 21 16:22:27 watson named[7024]: socket.c:1100: unexpected error:
Jan 21 16:22:27 watson named[7024]: internal_send: 192.168.254.2#1234:
Connection reset by peer
Jan 21 16:22:27 watson named[7024]: client 192.168.254.2#1234: transfer of
'206.207.in-addr.arpa/IN': send: connection reset

So it looks like the Windows 2000 DNS server has been hanging up on the BIND
machine when AXFR's happen, but IXFR's appear to be ok. The serial's are
updating, and new records are getting added, just not the 2000 or so
machines that haven't refreshed their lease on the DHCP Server, and are
already in the zone.

Attaching my config file below.
Two additional questions about the below config file.  The Transfer-format,
can Windows2000 support many-answers? (this was my first troubleshooting
test.  Second, if there is anything glaringly obvious wrong, don't be afraid
to chime out.  I don't know any better.
