    I have come across a couple of threads where people had issues with zone transfers and they're here:

    I am running Centos 5.3.

    I went over these threads and did everything that was suggested: I upgraded to mydns-ng latest (1.2.8.27) and my zones are still not being transferred to the slave server.

    Master:

    Code:
    [root@vnpws01 log]# mydns -v
    mydns[10804]: AXFR is enabled
    mydns[10804]: TCP ports are enabled
    mydns[10804]: DNS UPDATE is not enabled
    mydns[10804]: DNS NOTIFY is not enabled
    mydns[10804]: DNS IXFR is not enabled
    mydns[10804]: optional 'xfer' column found in 'dns_soa' table
    mydns[10804]: mydns 1.2.8.27 started Mon Jul 13 16:19:48 2009 (listening on 3 addresses)
    Slave:

    Code:
    [root@vnpws02 tmp]# mydns -v
    mydns[10994]: AXFR is enabled
    mydns[10994]: TCP ports are enabled
    mydns[10994]: DNS UPDATE is not enabled
    mydns[10994]: DNS NOTIFY is not enabled
    mydns[10994]: DNS IXFR is not enabled
    mydns[10994]: optional 'xfer' column found in 'dns_soa' table
    mydns[10994]: mydns 1.2.8.27 started Mon Jul 13 16:18:39 2009 (listening on 3 addresses)
    Contents of mydns.conf on both servers:

    Yep. I have attached a pic. One question. Is the zone transfer done automatically or am I supposed to initiate it with mydnsimport? My setup is also a multiserver setup. Probably should not make a difference.
