issues transfering zones.

[Shawn Somers]

I have two hsphere hosting boxes that are not transferring 
approximately  DNS zones between them.

the error logs are full of :
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: transfer of 'xxx.xxx/IN' from 
209.147.123.91#53: end of transfer
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: transfer of 'xxx.xxx/IN' from 
209.147.123.91#53: failed to connect: host unreachable
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: zone xxxx.xxx/IN: Transfer started.
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: zone txxxx.xxx/IN: Transfer started.
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: transfer of 'xxxxx.xxx/IN' from 
209.147.123.91#53: end of transfer
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: zone xx.xxx/IN: zone transfer deferred 
due to quota
Oct 30 10:27:35 cp named[3754]: zone xxxxxx.xxx/IN: zone transfer 
deferred due to quota
Oct 30 10:27:36 cp named[3754]: zone xxxxx.xxx/IN: zone transfer 
deferred due to quota

Bind version is 9.4.2-P1.

I can supply configs if needed...

What would be causing the host unreachable errors? how do I increase the 
quota that is causing deferrals?

the machines have PLENTY of horsepower and memory to spare, so I'm not 
worried about overloading them with bind. (dual quads with 16GB of RAM each)
