They are both Bind 9.0

Well now I just have one more issue and I will be ready to register.

I have two domains and after setting up my secondary server only one off
my zones made the transfer.  It has to be something so simple.  I
compaired the to zone in the named.conf on both the primary and
secondary and they are identical, except of course the actual domain
names.

What do think? Any ideas I can try.


Thanks again.
