Under FreeBSD 4.8 BIND was making zone transfers normally. In my network,

should be. Zone transfers are taking place from a W2K server. I am
seeing this problem with BIND 9.3.2 and BIND 9.3.1

Saw this in the BIND FAQ, maybe it applies to your situation:

Q: Zone transfers from my BIND 9 master to my Windows 2000 slave fail.
Why?

A: This may be caused by a bug in the Windows 2000 DNS server where DNS
messages larger than 16K are not handled properly. This can be worked
around by setting the option "transfer-format one-answer;". Also
check whether your zone contains domain names with embedded spaces or
other special characters, like "John\032Doe\213s\032Computer", since
such names have been known to cause Windows 2000 slaves to
incorrectly reject the zone.
