What do you mean authoritative here? That the zone is not on ns1 yet? (see below) > My questions: > > 1.

If yes on number 1, then WHY? well, in addition to the requirement that the zone must reside on the server to be able to AXFR from it, the server must also allow transfer from the client you are transferring from. Check allow-transfer directive, globally for the nameserver and locally for the configured zone. I think the default is "none" (check the docs for sure) -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
