I'm trying to setup a secondary DNS Server, The Primary DNS Server is on FreeBSD ns1.mydomain.net 2.2.8-RELEASE 
with BIND 4.9.7 the Secondary DNS is on FreeBSD ns2.mydomain.net 3.1-RELEASE running BIND 8.2.2-P5 (the latest)
Everything is going smoothly except for Zone Transfer when I look in /etc/namedb or even /etc/named the zone files db.* are not transferred from the primary
 so if some one changes IPs on the primary the secondary dns would not know about it till I reload or restart named, in matter 
of fact reloading does not do it. I have to restart  named.  Also /var/log/messages file reads
Nov 30 16:06:23 ns2 named[12001]: starting.  named 8.2.2-P5 Wed Nov 24 18:51:16 PST 1999 root@ns2.mydomain.net:/usr/local/bind8/src/bin/named
Nov 30 16:06:24 ns2 named[12001]: limit files set to fdlimit (1024)
Nov 30 16:06:24 ns2 named[12002]: Ready to answer queries. 
----
I also don't know what the limit files set to fdlimit (1024) means I searched the archive there was one question asked about it but with no answer! Also all nslookup queries are OK but there is a problem with the following:
#nslookup
>server ns1.mydomain.net
Default Server:  ns1.mydomain.net
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
> ls -s mydomain.net
[ns1.mydomain.net]
*** Can't list domain mydomain.net: Unspecified error
>Exit

Now Unspecified error is the problem No clue what so ever, Iv seen query rejected but unknown errors hmmm...is just those zone transfer that suppose to be happening automatically on the secondary are not happening! Any help is very appreciated.
