Hi,

I do have two DNS servers running bind 9.7.3. One master, one slave.

If I add/update a record on the master, it takes up to more or less 20 hours until that change is transferred to the slave.

That is a long time for me :-) May be I got some settings wrong which would sync much faster ... ?

What could be wrong? What might I check?

Thanks for any suggestion and hint!

It sounds like the the slave is not getting notifies when the master is updated. I'd check the NS records first to make sure both master and slave are listed. Is this server providing external DNS behind a NAT? It could be that you are trying to to zone transfers over the external IP to 2 servers on the same external firewall. in this case, you can add the also-notify { internal ip of slave}; stanza to the named.conf to force it to notify the slave on updates.
