Secondary DNS has stopped attempting zone transfers

I've had Secondary DNS configured with Zone Edit for years. Recently I've noticed that it's stopped attempting transfers and the cache has timed out. Nothing in my named (Bind) logs. Running wireshark I don't even get a TCP connection attempt from 64.68.198.91 or 64.68.198.183. Testing from another external IP address triggers named and wireshark as expected.

Are AXFR zone transfers from Zone Edit actually working?

Any other suggestions please

Thanks

Thank you. I disabled/enabled Secondary DNS, which seems to have refreshed/cached the zone.

Can you check and see if things are ok now?

Amazing thank you. All good now, including in my log files:
