SYMPTOMS
When you create a secondary zone on a Windows 2000-based Domain Name System (DNS) server and the primary zone is on a BIND 8.3 T5B computer, the zones do not transfer, and event 6254 is logged in the DNS event log:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: DNS

Event Category: None

Event ID: 6524

Date: 11/06/2000

Time: 10:21:03 PM

User: N/A

Computer: DNS001

Description: Invalid response from master DNS server at 192.168.128.2 during attempted zone transfer of zone test.net. Check The DNS server at 192.168.128.2 and insure that it is authoritative for this zone. This can be done by viewing or updating the list of authoritative servers for the zone.

When you use the steps in article Q260021, the problem is not resolved.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when you use the beta release of BIND 8.3, known as T5B. This version of BIND is included with FreeBSD 4.1. Therefore, this behavior can occur after you upgrade the master DNS server.



RESOLUTION
A later version of the beta release, T6B, is available. The incremental zone transfers behavior is corrected when you use T6B.

As an alternative resolution, you can also modify settings on the Zone Transfer tab to allow transfer of the zone to this and other DNS servers.
