</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText">I had a very similar issue recently, but it was with secondaries on Windows Server 2008 R2 and not stub zones. We actually went to stub zones afterwards to prevent the issue from happening again, hopefully.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText">The issue was that a machine had done DCHP and gotten the DDNS created A/TXT/PTR records, but had registered some invalid Unicode characters in its host name, including spaces so the host record was garbage. Windows didn't know what to do and stopped transferring all zones, BIND just chugged along blissfully unaware. I had to use nsupdate on the BIND side to remove the bad record and get the host renamed. After that, Windows still would not transfer any zones (not even the zones that were not impacted by the bad records) until ALL zones were deleted and recreated on each Windows DNS server. I was able to find the offending record by using the zone transfer function in Windows nslookup and fortunately the bad characters made the record easy to spot in the list.</p>

servers running AD / DNS / dhcp on other sites. These windows servers have stub
zones configured, for the zones on the Linux server.</font></font></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">

</font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText"><span style="mso-bookmark: _MailOriginal;"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Now none of the
zones will transfer to the stub zones on the Windows servers. From the windows
servers I can use nslookup to do zone transfers with out any issues. But in DNS
mangers , on the stub zone , when I click one reload, or Transfer from Master,
or Transfer new copy from zone Master then result is the same "Zone Not
Loaded by DNS server"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there is
nothing in the bind logs that relate to this server or the zone transfer
request. As far a I can see there are no firewall issues or connectivity
issues.</font></font></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
