AXFR and IXFR

[Sezen Uysal]

Mark,

I have a development question: Is it possible to write some records into the BIND
cache dynamically. These entries are outside the zone, so it is not possible to use
nsupdate. What are the function  mechanisms in the source code? Thanks for the
answer in advance.
