how do I implement AXFR query type.

[Ladislav Vobr]

you can have a look into dig source, which comes with bind. AXFR does 
full zone transfer, did you check your zone, perhaps it really has just 
one SRV record. You don't need to send SOA query, it is used to check 
the serial number, if zone has been updated the serial will be higher.

When I do that what I get is just the SOA record and one SRV record. Should I sent a query with SOA type first followed by AXFR?  Does the number of answer RR field reflect the number of zone records transmitted. If not which field reflects that. Do I need to send query(AXFR) multiple times to get all the zone records.
