dns failover problem

I have 2 dns's, joined by a hub, set up as master and slave. both have each
other
entered as default routers, and both have each other listed in the
resolv.conf file as
a second nameserver entry, and themselves as the first. The slave finds and
updates
from the master as expected.

the box at ip 1.2.3.4 has resolv.conf entries of:

domain some.domain.com
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5

and box at 1.2.3.5 has:
domain some.domain.com
nameserver 1.2.3.5
nameserver 1.2.3.4

if, on dns A, i say "nslookup some.box.name" it resolves.
if, on dns A, i say "nslookup some.box.name dns.B.ip" it resolves.
and vice versa

however, if i test a failover on box A by killing named-pid, then do:
"nslookup some.box.name" i get no response and truss shows the
process sleeping. i get the same result going the other way.
has anyone else seen this, or have i missed something obvious.
