BIND Version: 9.7.3 on Solaris 9 & 10 (locally compiled)

Our current workflow for managing DNS involves generating master zone files 
from a database, pushing the new files to a hidden master nameserver & then 
running "rndc reload" on that nameserver.

Based on the ARM & a posting to bind-users[1], I enabled "ixfr-from-differences 
master;" on the hidden master expecting the master nameserver would generate a 
"diff" from the previous zone file in memory and the new one being loaded so it 
could send an IXFR to the slaves.  However, every time the slave requests an 
IXFR, it gets a non-incremental response & has to perform a full AXFR.  I've 
configured this in a test environment with a single zone file so I know the 
slave has the first version of the zone file before loading the second version 
on the master & it still results in a AXFR-style IXFR.  I've explicitly stated 
the options allow-query & allow-transfer in the config, but I do not have 
allow-updates configured, relying on the implicit default of denying all 
updates.

Is there something I'm missing to get this working?

Thanks,
Dave Coulthart
