[dns-operations] .MW inconsistent zone updates?

Hi Randy,

Thank you for your quick response!

So in other words master is blocking you from fetching updates? But 
shouldn't that raise a big red flag - even if it is not your fault? 
Currently your slave is the only one not receiving any updates thus 
poisoning dns-caches with wrong/outdated responses.

Gunter Grodotzki
