rsync assumes you have a single zonefile in text format available, if
nsd has to parse it.

What is recently happening is that the TLDs are starting to not spool
the entire zone, but only send dynamic updates to the master from their
authoritative source.

I think it is becoming increasingly critical for larger TLDs to have
IXFR, now that they are getting used to it, and subsequently their
users.
