DNS Slave zone problems

[Derek Ragona]

You didn't say what versions of FreeBSD or bind you are running.  But here 
is what I have running . . .

named.conf syntax can be fussy.  Here is how I have mine setup:
====================
Master
running the ip 192.168.1.40
zone "foo.net" {
         type master;
         file "m/foo.net";
         allow-transfer { 192.168.1.50; 200.200.200.200; };
};

Slave
running the ip of either 192.168.1.50 or 200.200.200.200
zone "foo.net" {
         type slave;
         file "s/foo.net.bak";
         masters { 192.168.1.40; };
};

====================

On your server be sure to do:
ps -ax|grep name

and see the named commandline.  You may not have the correct named.conf 
being used, or the wrong user.  You may need to adjust or add options to 
your rc.conf file.  If you are running as the wrong user, or within a jail 
you didn't setup is often the case for permission issues.

Be sure your paths to the files are correct.  I use relative paths in my 
named.conf files.
