Subject: Bind errors
That was my first thought. However, why would my firewall
want to do a zone transfer if it is not running Bind
at all?

My next thought was this: Could someone (one of my imfamous
engineers) have set up an NT box that is running a nameserver?
Could the request be coming from inside?

It sounds like the firewall is trying to do a zone transfer from the DNS
server. If that is so, make sure the DNS server allows zone transfers to
your firewall by setting the xfernets directive in BIND4 or the
allow-transfer substatement in BIND8. I'm not entirely sure this is the
problem, but it might be a step in the right direction.
