issues transfering zones.

[Dawn Connelly]

Has this ever worked? Typically when I see this error, that means that TCP
isn't open but UDP is. The notify packet is on UDP53 but the actual zone
transfer has to happen on TCP53. Can you telnet <masterIP> 53 from the slave
and telnet <slaveIP> 53 from the master? The quota message just means "Dude,
I've tried this enough time with a big ol' no go so I'm taking a break and
will try again later."
