"...There has been some work on improving the zone-transfer protocol: a
NOTIFY mechanism that wakes up the slaves (after a delay, and without a
failure notice when something goes wrong); an experimental IXFR mechanism
for incremental zone transfers (although the BIND implementation doesn't
work for zone files modified by hand or by external tools); and several
proposed security mechanisms. The BIND company occasionally mumbles about
imaginary tools to handle new zones and client differentiation. By combining
all these tools, you can finally approach the functionality of a trivial
rsync script. Wow. "
