Issue: Zone transfer to Zoneedit as a Secondary failing.

I am having trouble setting up zoneedit as a secondary to my primary DNS servers.

I have tested, and know for sure that the servers in question are working, and there are no firewall issues.

I added mydomain.com as a domain to zoneedit I see this in the Details:



Domain:

mydomain.com

Domain Type:

Primary DNS

Application Type:

Nameserver Delegation

DNS Subscription:

NONE

Active Portfolio:

NONE

Date Added:

21-Apr-2015

additional information

Assigned to User:

myraadmin

Domain Status:

DNS Ready: OK To Delegate

Prohibit Domain Management:

NO

Registrar:

-

Service Level:

DNS Zone - 1 Credit / 1 month

Date Next Due:

21-May-2015



Under DNS Settings using Secondary Information, I set the primary NS to the IP of our primary DNS.



I added this to my named.conf and restarted the service



zone "mydomain.com" IN {

type master;

file "mydomain.com";

allow-transfer { 64.68.198.91/32; 64.68.198.183/32; };

also-notify { 64.68.198.91; 64.68.198.183; };
};



Under Zonefile Check it says ; Transfer failed


Questions:
1. Why does it say Domain Type: Primary DNS when I've to it to be a Secondary?
2. What have I missed to get this working as a secondary?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me

That looks like you did everything right. Can you put the domain name in my inbox and I'll look at it?

It works, it takes about an hour for xfr0 to rehash initially, so maybe you looked at it too soon.

Hello, interesting it still says Failed in the Zonefile Check.

Am I maybe using the wrong nameserver? I listed

@ IN NS dns1.zoneedit.com

in my zone file, but I get back results that are nonauthority like this?

[tiki@tiki-s01 ~]$ dig @dns1.zoneedit.com www.myra.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.30.rc1.el6_6.1 <<>> @dns1.zoneedit.com www.myra.com

You are getting an authoritative reply, that's what the 'aa' bit in the flags means.
The Authority: 0 doesn't refer to if the reply is authoritative or not (look for 'aa' in the flags for that)
