I think what you are asking is if i update a file (changing a serial #) on the 
master does it get updated on the master? if this is the question then yes the 
file on the master updates correctly. So i do not think i have to go searchin 
my file system but i might just to make sure as both machines do run chroot

Subject: Re: slave not updating or creating ofd zone files 

First find out if that IS the case: on master, is SOA serial updated when FILE 
serial is (after reload)? If so, no problem. 

If not, chroot is oneof the usual culprits, you update file in /var/named/..., 
but bind loads file in /var/named/chroot/var/named/data/... 

So in your filesystem, find ALL "zone" files, check which are used by bind and 
which you update. 

This is not rocket science, just normal file management. Usually the file in 
/var/named/... is a link to the file in /var/named/chroot/var/named/... - maybe 
you managed to break that link by editing the wrong file, go searchin your own 
file structure.

It has sometimes been seen that the files that are updated are not the
files actually loaded, this could be such a case?

Hello all i have what is to me a very strange bind 9 master slave
    transfer issue.

    When i update a zone file on the master the file updates correctly
    the notifies are sent and every thing seems to work perfectly
    except it transfers 0 bytes to the slave.  Checking the slave
    confirms that indeed thier was no transfer and that the slave is
    still serving the old zone, i have gon as far as to completely
    delete the zone files from the slave and restart bind to my
    suprise it puts back all the old files.  What is going on?  Below
    is an example of one of the files that is not updating correctly
    there are many and some of file I have updated more recently are
    not even showing up in the logs of the server.

    As a side not i have both machines firewalled, but have port 53
    open on both machines, and have ports set using this in these
    lines in the named.conf. file
          query-source address * port 53;
                transfer-source * port 53;
                notify-source * port 53;

    and see this in the dameon logs
    /etc/named.conf:9: using specific query-source port suppresses
    port randomization and can be insecure.

I've tried that had this problem for awhile that is why serial was not
dated today just picked a random zone file anyways i updated the
serial with todays date and still get the same behaviour.  Strange but
the times are messed up i checked the time/date on both machines they
are very similar what is with the wierd log times?

I get lots of these 0 bytes transfers everytime i try to edit a zone
file now they keep poping up and zones never get updated on the slave
it just keeps trying and getting 0 bytes
