Gang,

     I have read several many posts regarding this problem only to find
that they are unanswered due to lack of information provided (which I
hope will not be the case here) or they seem to be a firewall issue.  I
will describe the situation below:

Site 1:
master dns (master.domain.com - 192.168.0.10)
slave dns (ns2.domain.com - 192.168.0.30)
firewall with port 53 (both TCP and UDP) forwarded to 192.168.0.10

Site 2:
slave dns (ns1.domain.com - 192.168.0.20)
firewall with port 53 (both TCP and UDP) forwarded to 192.168.0.20

Site 1 has no issues with replication, but I get this in the log for
the master server at site 1:

Jul  8 09:37:09 localhost named[6801]: zone liveoakfarm.com/IN: loaded
serial 1

and this for site 2:

Jul  8 15:59:28 ns1 named[11598]: zone liveoakfarm.com/IN: refresh:
failure trying master 70.119.167.222#53: timed out
Jul  8 16:00:13 ns1 last message repeated 3 times
Jul  8 16:00:13 ns1 named[11598]: zone liveoakfarm.com/IN: refresh:
retry limit for master 70.119.167.222#53 exceeded

I am also using the "query-source address * port 53;" directive on the
master dns server at site 1 and on the slave dns at site 2.  I will
include the zone information below for both sites.  Any help that can
be given will greatly be appreciated.

Site 1 (master dns):
zone "liveoakfarm.com" {
        type master;
        file "forward.liveoakfarm.com";
        allow-transfer { 192.168.0.30; 70.46.29.218; };
};


Site 2 (slave dns):
zone "liveoakfarm.com" {
        type slave;
        file "forward.liveoakfarm.com";
        masters { 70.119.167.222; };
};
