In addition to Robert's good advice, you'll need to make sure that the
DNS admin of the Unix box has set your DNS server up as one of the
recipients - IOW a recognized NS for that domain.

Simply BEING a secondary server of a domain does not necessarily mean
that you will receive secondary DNS information.  Notify from the
Primary is a good thing to have as well.

Now, if the Unix DNS is set up to recognize any and all comers that
request, well - that's a potential security problem.  ;-)
