I don't really understand your question. Are you quoting something from
whatever you're reading?
In any case, the zone transfer operation is a "pull" rather than a "push".
The slave sends an AXFR or IXFR query *to* the master, which then sends
the contents of the zone as the reply to the query. Does that clear
anything up?
