Secondary and TLD not updating

[Bill Larson]

Can you run "dig @MASTER_DNS_SERVER_ADDR YOUR_ZONE axfr" and get  
anything?  Can you do this from the slave?  If not, you have zone  
transfers disabled in your configuration.  Your clip of your  
configuration would say that transfers are allowed but without seeing  
the whole thing we can't say much.

Do your logs indicate anything?  How about the logs on the slave?  Are  
you absolutely sure that you have identified the correct IP address of  
your master in the configuration on the slave?

Taking some guesses, it appears that your master server allows zone  
transfers, so it appears that the question is what is happening on  
your secondary.
