Example named.conf addition to allow dns zone transfers from master to slave dns server.

Add an acl group to the upper portion of the named.conf file:

acl mw_example {
10.0.1.0/24;
};


First I tried adding allow-transfer within the options section, but that crashed the BIND server upon startup.
Solution was to add to the 1st domain name. (It seemed to allow then all other domains to be transferred, too.)

zone mw.com IN {
type master;
file "mw.com";
allow-update { none; };
allow-transfer ( mw_example; };
};
