Note that it's not just a single AXFR - you need to update your local
slave copy whenever the master copy changes.  I'm not sure how often
this is but the current SOA has a 1-day timeout and appears to be about
24 hours old.  I suspect the total data transferred via AXFRs will be
significantly higher than just caching lookup results.
