The way back is the problem... as far as I understand it the situation is: you want \
to make a zone transfer to get a zone from an external DNS server to your DNS servers \
behind the Alteon. Your reals will try to establish a session to the world outside. \
They will use their eth0 IP and a user port as src. The packet will arrive on \
interface 4 of the Alteon but the Alteon will not RIP to VIP translate the packet. \
The Alteon will do the RIP to VIP translation only if the source port is a lb'ed port \
(in your config: dns (53), ntp (123), smtp (25) and port 873). All other packets will \
just be routed/forwarded. 

You should try to get a sniff of the traffic in front of the Alteon and see what is \
happening there. I guess  you will find packets with the addresses of your real DNS \
servers there... try a simple tcpdmp on dns1 and start the zonetransfer manual \
(named-xfer) - you should see a SYN going out. What else? Is the SYN-ACK coming \
back???
