Is there something special that needs to be done, in terms of maybe sacrificing
small mammals, to get a FreeBSD DNS server to perform zone transfers?  My
installation is quite free of useful tools like, say, named-xfer, and I seem
to be having a _devil_ of a time getting it to allow other nameservers to 
request transfers from it.  Any light to be shed, anyone?
