If I interpret the problem correctly, the zone

     sapo.co.za

is mastered on an AIX BIND 4.9 server, and Mokwena Motseto wants to
slave the zone on a MS W2k DNS Server.

I am omitting part of the various replies to the original posting.

To diagnose this problem, I would get a network trace on both the AIX
machine and the MS W2k machine.  I have not used AIX for a while, so
I do not know if snoop is available.  On the W2k machine, enable full
DNS logging; I believe that a full NetMon trace is not needed.

I tried some DNS AXFRs from my Solaris 9 workstation:

I used three of the numerous DNS servers listed in the NS list for that
zone.  Each time dig replied:

     "Bad server"

I looked at the syslog on both of my DNS servers, and I saw these
messages:

I am not sure exactly how to interpret these results.
