I have been having some long standing issues with my secondary provider that I would like to learn how to solve, and who needs to look to solve the errors. When I make an update, it seems hit or miss as to how long before I see it hit the secondary.

Apparently they have a server at xx.xx.0.26 that pulls the slave data, even though I list the secondary NS as xx.xx.0.18. xx.xx.0.18 seems to be a slave of xx.xx.0.26.

My master has:
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        allow-transfer {  xx.xx.0.26; };
        transfer-source  xx.xx.37.14;
        also-notify {  xx.xx.0.26; };
};

* I redacted some lines, but those are the ones I believe to be important.

They sent me some lines from their logs, which I will make comments on in-between. I am pretty sure there is nothing for me to do on my end, and this is for them to solve, but wanted to confirm...

NS0 is  xx.xx.0.26, which is where I send my notifications to.

Computer:       NS0
Description:
zone myfriendssite.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (REFUSED) from
master xx.xx.37.14#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)

I do not understand this one, why would source be 0.0.0.0? This looks like my machine, .14 is refusing their refresh request. Do I need to allow-recursion for their NS0?

At any rate, I no longer have zones for this domain on the primary, the domain owner has asked to terminate hosting. I asked the secondary to remove this from their slave. I assume this, and the below errors, especially the NOTAUTH are telling me exactly that, that there is simply no data for this zone, and they need to remove the slave files?

Computer:       NS0
Description:
zonemyfriendssite.com/IN: Transfer started.

Computer:       NS0
Description:
transfer of 'myfriendssite.com/IN' from xx.xx.37.14#53: connected using
 xx.xx.0.26#4012

Computer:       NS0
Description:
transfer of 'myfriendssite.com/IN' from xx.xx.37.14#53: failed while
receiving responses: NOTAUTH

-- end of logs for myfriendsite.com

Computer:       NS0
Description:
zone someone-else.com/IN: refused notify from non-master:
 xx.xx.37.6#56516

This is a valid domain, current records, should be working fine. Is the refusal because they are asking xx.xx.37.6? Yes, this IP is on the same machine, but that IP is used for http, and not DNS. So in this case, my transfer source is xx.xx.37.14, and they hit xx.xx. 37.6, which named is not listening on, and get the above error?

Those are the only two they gave me, but the general problem is, I can update a zone, change the serial, issue rndc reload, and see my logs show a notify sent their way. It can then take anywhere from a few minutes, to hours, to sometimes days to get the change to hit the secondary.

As far as you can see, is there anything on my end that I should look into? If I send a notify, see it in the logs, and do not see errors with it, and further, in a while, someone like openDNS picks up on it, would it be safe to assume my setup is good, and they need to look into their end?

Thanks
