hmm, I've never heard that multiple zones are packed into a response. I'm
pretty sure one TCP session is opened/closed to make a zone transfer. And
I think the "one answer" says that there will be only one TCP session in
time, while many answers permits multiple, concurrent TCP axfr sessions,
but any one session carries only one axfr. I admit I haven't read the RFC
in this area.
a "bad record" would have probably made the master non-authoritative, a
prerequisite for the slave to request the axfr.
