I've just tried - if I try and transfer any other zone using dig from the same secondary, it works.

If I try transferring the 'broken' zone, it sits there for about 30 seconds and then comes back with nothing at all. I see a few messages on the primary stating "AXFR started".

If I try from another secondary, it works, though.

So the problem would appear to be on the initial secondary server ? I have no idea what it could be though ?

Thanks for your help, Mark.
