You can use djb's axfrdns for djbdns->BIND zone transfers. It listens on
the same port tinydns is bound to.

Subject: BIND alternatives (WAS Re: [plug] the FUD goes on...)



okay, if BIND is such a horror, i have a question for all serious DNS 
administrators out there. what nameserver program would you use that 
supports the RFCs as much as BIND does? i'm talking about ISP grade, or 
root-server grade name service software? one that supports primaries, 
secondaries, master-slave, zone transfers and updates...and what-not?

the reason i'm asking is i'm using djbdns for the office lan, but i use 
bind for our central nameserver which has several slave dns machines, 
including those of our providers. i feel i would be able to sleep better

at night knowing that the risk of the bind instances running amok is 
lessened.
