Regarding: DNS Lookup to Bind config file
You need to use dig against your own nameservers when you attempt a zone transfer. This needs to be specifically permitted by the allow-transfer
directive. Zone transfers should be disabled by default to protect the zone from prying eyes and from the possibility of a denial of service attack.
Google is not going to let you do a zone transfer from them.
Zone transfer permissions are in most cases granted only to a very specific subset of other hosts, and almost never to the public at large.
