> and your BIND 9 master server really sent the notify from 2001:4870:20ca:158:4423:f19d:4ead:5c20 (maybe you want to check if the master server has multiple IPv6 addresses and might use a different one to send the notify), I believe it should immediately trigger a retransfer.  Perhaps you have a log starting with XFRIN_NOTIFY_UNKNOWN_MASTER?

Checking the bind9 master's IPv6 configuration, I found that I had failed to suppress its autoconfigured EUI-64 address 2001:4870:20ca:158:250:56ff:fe3f:11a1 after configuring the static address 2001:4870:20ca:158:4423:f19d:4ead:5c20. I fixed this, configured bind10 logging (DEBUG level 40), and did another zone update on the master. Using tcpdump, I saw that the master immediately sent a notify query to the bind10 server, and it responded. The bind10 log and the master log both showed an immediate zone transfer to the bind10 server via AXFR -- IXFR is not configured. Dig showed the correct serial number on the bind10 server. Thanks again. Jeff.
