I noticed that I was missing include "/etc/rndc.key" from the named.conf file so I added that and restarted the server (not just the service) and then once the server was back up I started the service (I had the initd start turned off so I could watch the errors myself) with: service named start, checking for any errors in log file. No errors. So then I went to the newslave box and tried starting the service (with the above service command). Then while watching the message log for the errors connecting to the master... I instead saw connection complete messages! Yeah baby! Now I tried to recreate this by removing the include entry and restarting both services on both servers. But this did not work because the connection from newslave to newmaster is still working. I'm not sure what happened now, but it is working. I'd really like to know though.
