you're right. i'm suffering from yoda-think.

your plan 9 server (master) should be sending the slaves a NOTIFY
message for changes. dnstcp should get the AXFR that comes back
from the unix slave. perhaps you could put a syslog line in dnstcp
to make sure it's being run. i'd try this to make sure the AXFR is
coming back:

dblookup.c:197,202 - dblookup.c~steve:197,203
  		f = cnamerr;
  		break;
  	case Taxfr:
+ 		syslog(0, "dnsaxfr", "dnsaxfr(db=%s, name=%s)", db, name);
  	case Tixfr:
  		return doaxfr(db, name);
  	default:

(make sure you touch /sys/log/dnsaxfr first.)
