Unapproved AXFR?

[Bill Manning]

%    seen an answer to my question: is there a _technical_ reason to limit
%    zone transfers (except for server overload)?
% 
% If you name machines after users, projects, etc. then zone transfers can
% divulge proprietary information.  Most companies have a policy that the
% employee directory can't be distributed to outsiders; if the DNS database
% is almost equivalent, it makes sense not to distribute it, either.

That, like the two reasons I gave, is not a technical justification, its
administrative/policy.  

The reasons to allow AXFR, from a technical perspective, seem to outweigh
the reasons to disallow AXFR.
