Hi Andy,

Below are the logs for opening up the firewall but I can not find the logs that says fail to listen on address.

When I open Port 53 was to all not just 2 IP address my axfr was completed.

Hope I be able to explain it properly.

You aren't going to get any useful help unless you show the actual
relevant log lines, in full (I guarantee this isn't it) without
obscuring any IP addresses.

> Once I put the listen directive to any IP address bind started to work again.

The obvious conclusion from that is that you tried to make it listen
on an interface:port that it could not listen on, for reasons that
it almost certainly has told you in the logs. By not asking it to do
that… it doesn't do that.

Fine if you didn't actually want to do that. If you did want to make
it listen on only specified interfaces, then you have a problem.
Let's solve that problem then.

Cheers,
Andy
