i upgraded our name servers from 8.4.4 to 9.4.1.  The master seems to run
fine on 9.4.1.  When i run the slave 9.4.1, it seems the zones aren't being
trasfered properly.  Then after a while the zones begin to expire, and
odvious with out the zone transfer, problems start to arise.
When the master is run at 9.4.1 and slave at 8.4.4 everything seems to work
fine.
While poking around the slave i notice a set files like this:
db-RJ2qRqDS
db-SzOb6MvH
db-T0qBsCoV
db-Uu5fZE7v
db-WVHIEYuZ
db-Wwt6a4qU
db-YTjS9eK5
db-gdO2n3LH
db-kBvivlyx
db-nUkGm2hW
db-qH68dJ8J

the contents of one of the files is listed below:

The time and dates on the files seem to coincide when 9.4.1 was running on
both master and slave. do you guys know what these file are and why it would
be creating the files with these names?  Thus far i have been unable to find
any info about them on google. One thing that jumps out as a issue. is the
file at the top references "BIND version named 8.4.4."  This is a shot in
the dark, but Is it possible the bind 9.4.1 on the master is using a
transfer method for 8.4.4?

Thanks
Mark
