If the ISP does not allow the customer to transfer the zone
that covers his address space then it is time to find a
new ISP. If the ISP can't / won't provide basic support
like this it's time to move onto a ISP that cares about
it's customers.
In general it is no more that adding a allow-transfer which
covers the address range in addition to the slaves. Perfectly
automatible.
