Actually.  The problem I was having was the the primary dns was not
successfully transfering zones to the secondary salve server and by
looking at the logs it said the transfer was tiing out.  I was thinking
it was trying to use the external IP instead of the internal one and
wanted to make sure it was not being blocked somehow.  I only wanted to
do that for troubleshooting.  It turns out I didn't open port 53 on the
firewall.  So after calling myself an idiot for overlooking that and
seeing everything work as expected I just took a break.  Sometimes you
get to a point where little easy things become hard when you've been
working on 4 projects all at once.

Thanks for the suggestion though.  Take care.
