[BlueOnyx:20636] Re: DNS query refused for policy reasons

The Standard-Configuration of Bind on BlueOnyx doesn't allow AXFR
transfers at all. These need to be specifically allowed for certain IP
addresses.

Please check in "Server Management" / "Network Services" / "DNS" in the
"Advanced" tab. Make sure the IP address of your secondary DNS server
are added to "Zone Transfer Access by IP Address (optional)".

If the IP is added there, then the 2ndary is allowed to poll your DNS
server for zone transfers via AXFR.
