I will retry this step by step...

Thanks,
that clarify the errors.

But wouldn't it be better to log a warning at the slave?
Optional (configuration?) the slave could continue to fetch the zone
to avoid such errors at the server. Optional, that really depend on  
the zone size.

Anyway: the errors are really confusing and should not occur if a nsd  
talks to a nsd.
