Upon receipt of a NOTIFY message from the master, or when the Refresh period specified in the SOA record expires, the slave queries the SOA record from the master. If the master's serial number is higher than the one the slave already has, it performs a zone transfer. Once the zone transfer completes, it loads the new version of the zone. I can't think of any way that it could be getting just the incremented serial number, but not the rest of the changes to the zone. I think all the other respondents missed this detail from your post. Are there any errors in the slave's log when this happens? -- Barry Margolin, bar...@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
