I'm trying to setup a secondary DNS Server, The Primary DNS Server is on =
FreeBSD ns1.mydomain.net 2.2.8-RELEASE=20
with BIND 4.9.7 the Secondary DNS is on FreeBSD ns2.mydomain.net =
3.1-RELEASE running BIND 8.2.2-P5 (the latest)
Everything is going smoothly except for Zone Transfer when I look in =
/etc/namedb or even /etc/named the zone files db.* are not transferred =
from the primary
 so if some one changes IPs on the primary the secondary dns would not =
know about it till I reload or restart named, in matter=20
of fact reloading does not do it. I have to restart  named.  Also =
/var/log/messages file reads
Nov 30 16:06:23 ns2 named[12001]: starting.  named 8.2.2-P5 Wed Nov 24 =
18:51:16 PST 1999 root@ns2.mydomain.net:/usr/local/bind8/src/bin/named
Nov 30 16:06:24 ns2 named[12001]: limit files set to fdlimit (1024)
Nov 30 16:06:24 ns2 named[12002]: Ready to answer queries.=20
----
I also don't know what the limit files set to fdlimit (1024) means I =
searched the archive there was one question asked about it but with no =
answer! Also all nslookup queries are OK but there is a problem with the =
following:
#nslookup
>server ns1.mydomain.net
Default Server:  ns1.mydomain.net
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
> ls -s mydomain.net
[ns1.mydomain.net]
*** Can't list domain mydomain.net: Unspecified error
>Exit

Now Unspecified error is the problem No clue what so ever, Iv seen query =
rejected but unknown errors hmmm...is just those zone transfer that =
suppose to be happening automatically on the secondary are not =
happening! Any help is very appreciated. =20
