Yes I did read through the migration documentation.  There wasn't anything
in it that appears to be related to what I am dealing with.  I know they are
expiring because after I restart the server I will check the logs to see if
there are any issues.  It is then I see a message about one or more zones
have expired.




I set logging and for notify, update, security, update-security, xfer-in,
and xfer-out.  I'm not seeing anything odd in there log. The following is
just a very brief excerpt of the log on the master.:



24-Oct-2007 10:00:07.760 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)
24-Oct-2007 10:30:08.356 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)
24-Oct-2007 11:00:09.486 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)
24-Oct-2007 11:30:09.418 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)
24-Oct-2007 11:49:51.548 xfer-out: info: client
209.209.192.20#52003:transfer of '
bayouwireless.com/IN': AXFR started
24-Oct-2007 11:49:51.548 xfer-out: info: client
209.209.192.20#52003:transfer of '
bayouwireless.com/IN': AXFR ended
24-Oct-2007 12:00:09.225 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)
24-Oct-2007 12:30:09.987 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)





now the slave:

24-Oct-2007 10:00:13.763 notify: info: client 209.209.192.10#2080: received
notify for zone 'bayouwireless.com'
24-Oct-2007 10:30:14.347 notify: info: client 209.209.192.10#2014: received
notify for zone 'bayouwireless.com'
24-Oct-2007 11:00:15.480 notify: info: client 209.209.192.10#1433: received
notify for zone 'bayouwireless.com'
24-Oct-2007 11:30:15.405 notify: info: client 209.209.192.10#4082: received
notify for zone 'bayouwireless.com'
24-Oct-2007 11:50:17.956 notify: info: zone bayouwireless.com/IN: sending
notifies (serial 2004030203)
24-Oct-2007 12:00:15.183 notify: info: client 209.209.192.10#2249: received
notify for zone 'bayouwireless.com'
24-Oct-2007 12:30:15.981 notify: info: client 209.209.192.10#1487: received
notify for zone 'bayouwireless.com'





The only thing I noticed looking though the full logs is that I never see a
zone transfer actually occur without me forcing it.  So the transfer you see
in the master was forced. The interesting thing is I can force the transfer
to the slave with "dig @masterserver domain axfr". if I check the zone file
afterwards no changes are reflected (the same modification date and
everything as before).



I can get past this by forcing a zone transfer and directing the output to a
file with

"dig @masterserver domain axfr > zonefile". The zone begins working fine. It
is almost like a permission problem on the slave server.  I have check the
permissions and everything looks fine.



Thank you for you time and assistance



Mark
