There is no need to allow zonefile transfers out of the master servers except to designated secondaries and a large number of good reasons to deny AXFRs by default - commercial, security and load related.
Sorry, I don't buy the arguements about secondarying the entire *.nz space into servers which aren't designated secondaries - it just causes lame server logfile entries and probably results in higher bandwodth consumption than just letting normal DNS NS caching algorithms do their thing - which they do quite efficiently.
Lame servers are logged when a zone has an NS record pointing at a nameserver which is not authoritative for the zone. In this case, there are no NS records pointing to the nameservers which carry the slave zones. Why would lame server warnings result?
