The clue is in your SQL structure for the DLZ queries:

> '%client%' limit 1}

Ensure you have a table in your DB called "xfr_table" with columns 
"zone" and "client". For the hosts you want to be able to do zone 
transfers, do:

INSERT INTO xfr_table VALUES("*","192.168.1.100");

That example will allow 192.168.1.100 to do zone transfers of all zones. 
You can tune it as follows (some more examples):

# Allow 192.168.1.0/24 hosts to transfer .com domains:
INSERT INTO xfr_table VALUES(".com","192.168.1.");

# Allow 192.168.1.100 to transfer domain.com:
INSERT INTO xfr_table VALUES("domain.com","192.168.1.100");

...and so on, and so forth. Be careful with your wildcarding - remember 
that *, % and so on can mean different things to different backends.
