Clearing queued transfers

Some hopefully quick questions regarding zone transfers:

We recently updated a bunch of zones to add new masters, not realizing
the firewall holes weren't there yet.  This caused zone transfers to
queue and be deferred.  So, my couple questions

1) Is there a way to get more information about what zones are queueing?
syslog works, but there are hundreds of lines constantly changing,
wondering if there is a more consise list of currently
queued/transferring zones?

2) We backed out the change and removed the extra masters and did an
rndc reconfig.  That didn't clear the queue itself, but I assume it
would have once the transfer timeouts happened. Is there a manual way,
other than restarting the service, to clear zone transfers?  I expect
the answer is no, or my google fu is weak.

3) Specific to behaviour.  In this case, each slave had 3 masters that
it could contact, and 3 it couldn't.  However, it would fill up the
queue with requests to the servers it couldn't reach, and not use the
servers it could reach.  Is there any way to modify this behaviour?  

Thanks very much for the help,

Todd.
