Has anyone successfully used axfr-get to pull zones from a server running BIND to a server running tinydns?

Here is what I do and the error:

# tcpclient -v 209.212.134.21 53 /usr/local/bin/axfr-get focalhosting.com focalhosting.com focalhosting.com.tmp
tcpclient: connected to 209.212.134.21 port 53
axfr-get: fatal: unable to read from network: timed out
#

The BIND named process is running fine on 209.212.134.21 (it's connecting and all, just not communicating).

I'm sure it's something small and stupid I've overlooked. Any ideas?

Yep, it was something small. I had allow-transfer settings for ns2's IP, which isn't the same IP as the box axfr-get was being run from. Deleting those allow-transfers and adding one at the top in options fixed the problem nicely.
