No sorry, I know the serial numbers are not the problem. If I do a 'ndc
reload' then it does the zone xfer alright. As I said - the only
difference between when it was receiving and processing successfully the
notifies from primary servers and now (when it's not) is that now I've
added an IP alias to one interface and let named auto-detect the
interfaces (rather than specifying via 'listen-on' directives, which
appears to be no problem if you believe the logs).
BTW, I'm not using (and haven't been using) the debian BIND package(s) -
I've built my own, but the system is otherwise debian 1.3.whatever (bo).
But thanx for some interest...
