Slave to Win2003 DNS

Our Bind 9.6.1-P1 Windows servers are slaves to a Windows 2003 DNS
server, zone "company.local".
For some reason the slaves don't update the zone unless I restart the
BIND service in the server, and after a while, fail to respond to queries.
Example, after a couple of days since the last restart, the BIND servers
stops responding to queries to "company.local" (SERVFAIL), at the server
I can see that the cache file is not updated since the service was
previously started. I restart BIND service, and immediately the cache
file is updated, server again responses to queries etc.
I suspect this is not a problem in the BIND, but in the Windows 2003
DNS, but any ideas anyway, what to look in the server? Haven't been
playing with the Windows DNS a lot...
