Guys, REFRESH is set to 1 minute. That's not a long time to wait. Just do a packet capture and see if the slave is issuing zone-refresh queries regularly in the 30-second-to-1-minute range (it's randomized, of course, between REFRESH/2 and full REFRESH).
If the slave isn't issuing refreshes, then check whether the zone got loaded properly as a slave zone in the first place, and that the masters clause is set properly. If the slave *is* issuing refreshes, is it getting a response? Are the refresh queries even showing up on the master side? If the refresh queries are getting a response, but there's no AXFR/IXFR following subsequently, look in the log files for some sort of resource issue, e.g. concurrent zone transfers or something of that nature. - Kevin From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of John W.

Well so much for getting an easy resolution. :D If you trust your conf files and logs are clean, I personally next to turn to tcpdump. You really need to know what (if anything) is being placed on the wire. Something like this should get you started: tcpdump -i eth0 -n port domain Kick off a transfer and see what happens.

Blue Cc: BIND Users Subject: Re: A Zone Transfer Question Hi John, Nothing in the /var/log/messages indicates transfer problems. In fact I don't think the transfer ever started by itself for some reason until I manually used "dig" to initiate. David On Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 9:00 AM, John W.
