Hi List
I am new to this list, ans would like to say hello pdns users!

Setup:
Version: 4.1
Backend: MySQL
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
pdns Server acts as Slave Server

In my lab, i made a axfr zone transfer with several records. I was wondering if 
there is only one [1] solution to prevent/throttle a master Server sent all 
couple of minutes a zone transfer with a huge "fake" zone to triger a DoS 
situation.
The syslogs says there was more than 5000 messages in the queue to write down 
to MySQL [2]. so my guess is, the MySQL Server is too slow.
Is there a solution to slow down a zone transfer?
Maybe my toughts are in a wrong directon, but from my point of view, in a real 
life scenario, a DoS is possible with a huge zone transfer all couple of 
minutes.

What do you recommend? tune MySQL Server? add DoS prevention tool in front like 
fail2ban?

Thank you very much for your input!
BR A
