We have two domains on different coasts here in the U.S. They are
functioning resolving internally between eachother via a Cisco PIX firewall
VPN across the net - we can connect to eachothers internal machines without
a problem however we want to load eachothers DNS zones on the others DNS
server. When I load domain A's DNS zone into a secondary dns zone here at
domain B it works, the zone is transferred and useable. But when I try to
load domain B's DNS zone at domain A it fails every time with no specific
errors to speak of ... Zone transfers to any server are enabled on both
networks...

What could be the problem?

Thanks!

Scott

Blocked outbound port 53 TCP maybe?

Port 53 UDP and TCP must be open both ways between the two DNS servers on
all possible IP addresses.

Kevin means in the PIX firewalls.

The issue may be an incorrect record type. Are there any CNAMES in the zone?
If so, how were they created?

I realize he means in the PIX but I interpreted that as Windows firewall as
well (any firewall essentially). I didn't address the PIX portion of that
because we have a PIX-to-PIX VPN which according to our folks that handle
the Cisco gear is letting all traffic across/through that VPN.

Ok. Then back to the records, did you manually make any records? CNAMES?

I had a similiar problem with RPC and my VPN/router guys told me all traffic was going through.. I would install the support tools and run the portqry command.....

portqry -n <ip or fqdn> -e 53 and see if its open and listening from both
ends...
