DNS Zone Transfers

Hello,

Could someone tell me how to force a zone transfer?

I have BIND running on my Linux server, with two slave zones, and I'm trying to force a zone transfer with the master.  There are changes on the master, the serial numbers for the zones have been incremented, and the master is configured to notify all secondaries.  As I understand it, the notification should cause the secondaries to compare serial numbers and update their zones if the serial number on the master is larger that the serial number it has in its zone.  But no updates are taking place.

Is there some way to force the zone transfer?  Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you.
