I have w2k3 DNS service to handle my intranet DNS zone xxxxx.yyy Want to
use Linux/BIND 9.x as secondary, but zone was not transfered
succesfully. I have allowed zone transfers in zone properties and only
allowed server is IP address of this linux machine. Remote IP is
pingable, TCP port 53 is accessible on both machines.

On linux machine we got this message:

---------------------------------------

doma@doma:~$ ; Transfer failed.
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
doma@doma:~$ host -l xxxx.yyy 1.2.3.4
Using domain server:
Name: 1.2.3.4
Address: 1.2.3.4#53
Aliases:

Host xxxx.yyy not found: 5(REFUSED)
; Transfer failed.

----------------------------------------

I have created dump of my zone:

----------------------------------------

c:\Program Files\Support Tools>dnscmd /zoneinfo xxxx.yyy
Zone query result:
Zone info:
ptr = 00082FE8
zone name = xxxx.yyy
zone type = 1
update = 1
DS integrated = 0
data file = xxxx.yyy.dns
using WINS = 0
using Nbstat = 0
aging = 1
refresh interval = 168
no refresh = 168
scavenge available = 3557270
Zone Masters
NULL IP Array.
Zone Secondaries
Addr Count = 1
Secondary[0] => 1.2.3.4
secure secs = 2
Command completed successfully.

--------------------------------------

Linux machine is already configured as secondary for many (linux only)
servers, and run OK for long time a go.

What is wrong in my case?

P.L.

Looks like a syntax error in a script or maybe your named.conf. Don't know
why bash is reporting the error.

Here's a named.conf that works for me:

//
// named.conf for slave zones transferring from Server2003 AD-integrated
zones.
//

options {
directory "/var/named";
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
};

zone "test.local" IN {
type master;
file "test.local.dns";
};

zone "mydomain149." {
type slave;
file "mydomain149.dns";
masters { 10.0.0.74; };
};

zone "mydomain151." {
type slave;
file "mydomain151.dns";
masters { 10.0.0.74; };
};

zone "mydomain.148." {
type slave;
file "mydomain.dns";
masters { 10.0.0.74; };
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";
