Re: Zone transfers fail

Yes. You can set this either in /var/named/conf/options, globally for
the server, or in /var/named/conf/zoneopt/zone.name.opt, for each
zone individually. Add the following to either the 'options'
statement block or the 'zone' statement block:

transfer-source { 64.84.37.14; };

Be sure to edit the file with root privileges (either by becoming
root or by using 'sudo'), and be sure to tell the server to reload
the zone. For BIND 9 on Mac OS X, you can perform this latter step
with this command:

sudo rndc reload zone.name
