You need to check the serial numbers in the zone files for the primary server for the domain you control. If you have root access to all the secondary servers, you can force an update by killing and restarting named on each secondary. Check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages on the primary and secondaries as well. If there is an error in your zone files, then DNS transfers can be aborted and the errors will be reported in the relevant log files. Hope that helps, Adam.
