[afnog] DNS zone transfer

[Antonio Godinho]

I thought the same thing Mark but unfortunately for those domains that are 
missing the foo.bar on the NS records the server answers in error. I also 
found it strange. The fact is that when the secondary server transfers the 
zone from the primary it removes this foo.bar from all the NS records, why 
would it do that? instead of just copying the zone file?

Cheers,
