FC1 bind-chroot-9.2.2.P3-9 bind-utils-9.2.2.P3-9 bind-9.2.2.P3-9 redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-18 Everything up to date with Yum This is the same on the master (newmaster) and the slave (newslave) systems. The newmaster is working great. I setup the newslave exactly like the newmaster except for the entries in named.conf that designate a zone a slave to newmaster. If I point the named.conf slave entry to one of my old named servers (oldmaster) the newslave works great as the secondary dns. However if I point the newslave to the newmaster I get the following error: <date> <sys> named[15137]: zone test.com/IN: refresh: failure trying master <local ip of newmaster>#53: timed out I can't seem to figure out why the newmaster will not allow a connection for the newslave. Can anyone point me to anything I can try?
