If so where should I start looking to solve it? 203.16.236.2 is not answering authoritatively for the domain somerville.qld.edu.au, so your secondary isn't loading the zone from it: [cjohnson@shemp cjohnson]$ /usr/libexec/named-xfer -s 0 -f zone -z somerville.qld.edu.au 203.16.236.2 named-xfer[16120]: [203.16.236.2] not authoritative for somerville.qld.edu.au, SOA query got rcode 0, aa 0, ancount 1, aucount 0 There's likely an error in the zone file for this domain on your master server. Restart named on your master server, and then tail /var/log/messages and see what named's objection to loading it is.
