I've noticed that the debian package for bind 4.9.6 isn't to great (no offense to whomever made it), so i downloaded bind-4.9.6-REL.tar.gz, and manually did it myself. I have not and will not goto 8.x until they resolve a lot of errors. Right now i am quite happy with 4.9.6, it works as it should, and isn't a hassle what so ever. Now to your questions, could you possibly be forgetting to increment your serial numbers in your databases? If so, that would possibly explain lack of zone transfers to your secondaries. Also, setting up a cronjob to pull records is a good idea. I have cron run named-xfer with the correct parameters every 6 hours on my secondaries to pull from myself.
