Hello admins

Few days ago i posted this question and it's summary
(we are in 4.0G)

                                ...
                
Now I want to do the same thing for my secondary servers.
I thank it was obvious, it wasn't!

I added the following line to the named.boot file
...
secondary xxx <primary IP> hosts.db
secondary net.com <primary IP> net.com.db (<- line added)
...
I killed -1 the "named" process...
and immediately, I saw the "net.com.db" file re-created on the secondary
server in namedb directory.
I thank it was ok, but "nslookup www.net.com" doesn't work!

On the primary server, if i strike the following
command: "nslookup + ls net.com"
The command returns "www" and it's IP address.

On the secondary server, the same command returns:
*** Can't list domain "net.com" No information

But the db file is present... so what's wrong?
