Stalling slave transfers

Tom,
What happens when you "dig +tcp example.com @1.2.3.4"? Specifically I'm wondering here if the slave you're having problems with is blocking TCP port 53. Such a configuration would allow you to query the master server, but not transfer to/from it.

Thank you, great resource. I think I solved it with raising serial-query-limit, it's just odd that it's not required on the other two servers.
Another issue has arisen now though, the logfile is filled with lots of
named[5596]: zone example.com/IN: refresh: failure trying master
1.2.3.4#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0): operation canceled
But if I do a "dig example.com @1.2.3.4" it's working just fine. Same server as with the previous issue.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
// Tom
