Aug 18 15:49:39 localhost named[1894]: transfer of 'XXX.net/IN' from XX.XX.206.253#53: failed to connect: timed out
Aug 18 15:49:39 localhost named[1894]: transfer of 'XXX.net/IN' from XX.XX.206.253#53: end of transfer

is the message I am getting when trying to get the file. Not sure how to troubleshoot this (usually don't have many bind problems)

Master server (306.253) slave server (199.253),
Master runs old bind (8ish or so), slave runs latest Bind9 on deb stable

iptables -L lists no rules (on slave), nor does ipchains -L (on master)

telnet from slave to master on port 53 doesn't error out, but I get nothing from the server

They can ping each other, no problem. Have the network guys checking for firewall rules, but none so far. Any ideas?

Did it ever work or is this a new configuration?

Can you dig @ the master from the slave? e.g.

dig @master.ip.address yahoo.com NS
