Hi Michel,
Thank you! I applied the udp rule and all appears well.
This server is already receiving zones correctly. The primary feeding it will not likely ever have more than 300 zones. Does that qualify as 'large queries' to the point where the tcp rule should be applied as well?
Thanks again for all help offered. The community support for CentOS has solidified my confidence as having chosen CentOS as my distro of choice.
You only need the tcp rule if you plan on serving up zone transfers, not if plan on only requesting them.
