The problem I was having was the the primary dns was not successfully transfering zones to the secondary salve server and by looking at the logs it said the transfer was tiing out. I was thinking it was trying to use the external IP instead of the internal one and wanted to make sure it was not being blocked somehow. I only wanted to do that for troubleshooting. It turns out I didn't open port 53 on the firewall. So after calling myself an idiot for overlooking that and seeing everything work as expected I just took a break. Sometimes you get to a point where little easy things become hard when you've been working on 4 projects all at once. Thanks for the suggestion though.
