Here is something interesting. I added a record to both my reverse
and forward domains and the reverse loaded ok, but it looks like the
forward failed to load.
Sure enough. If I do an nslookup using the secondary, I can find the
record in the reverse but not in the forward. So it seems that it is
not a cosmetic problem but is a real problem.
To get the zone to download I have to delete it from the slave and
then add it back.
