	If the master doesn't have the requested starting serial
	in the journal and the requested serial is less than the
	current serial then a AXFR style IXFR response will be
	returned.  Otherwise a delta style IXFR response will be
	returned or a up to date style response will be returned
	depending apon whether the requested starting serial is
	less then the current serial or not.

	This is basic IXFR response behaviour and is independent
	of the DNS vendor.
