The bind10 slave appears not to be reacting to notify messages received -- it is not transferring the updated zone from the master. It does finally transfer the zone three hours later, presumably as a result of the SOA refresh timer (86400) expiring. I have included excerpts from the bind10 system's log (set to DEBUG level) and excerpts from the configuration. I would like to have your opinion as to whether the incoming notify process is malfunctioning or if I have made a configuration error. Thanks. Jeff.

It seems to be a bug, but I couldn't easily identify anything
obviously wrong.  zonemgr is already so broken and we'll need to
re-design/re-implement it pretty fundamentally anyway.  I'm not sure
if we can easily fix it.  At least we can try to build our own test
cases to see whether we can reproduce it ourselves.

One quick question: does it always fail, or does it sometimes succeed?
