Does anybody of you know if the transfer= of=20 > zones between the two versions are compatible? In principle, essentially yes. However, be aware that Bind9 is a lot pickier than Bind8, and various things that you used to be able to get away with now result in errors. Keep an eye on the /var/log/messages or /var/log/all.log files whenever you restart bind, as it tends to write pretty explanatory error messages there. Note that what applies to the zone files applies even more strongly to the named.conf file. Your best bet for getting the Bind9 named.conf working properly is to start with the default named.conf from 5.3 and customise that with reference to=20 file:///usr/local/share/doc/bind9/arm/Bv9ARM.html or wherever the system puts the Bind docs -- that's where the dns/bind9 port puts them.
