Ah I am sure you have told me that before, but I forgot and the man page
didn't remind me :-)

And I had falsely got the impression from RFC 1995 that IXFR-over-UDP was
the norm, but all the IXFRs in my logs are over TCP, and named/xfrout.c
says:

		 * Sending a single SOA record is also how we refuse
		 * IXFR over UDP (currently, we always do).

Sadface.

Which suggests my guess about the cause of Mart's problem was wrong,
though I suppose it could still be a TCP MTU problem.
