Are the secondary servers multihomed? That is, do they have more than one IP
address?

Many times, if it is possible for the secondary to connect to the primary
from an IP addres that is not in the allow zone transfer list, zone
transfers will fail. Does change the allow zone transfer list to all IP
address allow the zone transfers to happen every time?
