Having trouble setting up zone transfers with bind (axfr)
-
I've been trying to use the dns-server package to use as a primary server for an internal domain. That part works fine, but I can't get zone transfers (axfr) to work so I can slave the zones on external bind DNS servers.
So far I have tried turning off the DNS forwarder and binding the DNS server address to the LAN interface. When I test it using this command:
dig @pfsensebox test.bogus AXFR
fails with:
;; communications error to 10.1.0.251#53: end of file
but this works:
dig @fssensebox test.bogus SOA
I get the exact same results if I try to bind the DNS server to 127.0.0.1 and port forward TCP 53 from the LAN to the loopback.
I've search the forums, but I have not run across anything on how to get this working. Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't read all of your post, but it seems you want to do something tinydns doesn't support:

I figured out how to fix pfSense and I posted in your thread:
