So, what you want is not disabling AXFR but retrying IXFR. Disabling AXFR
could lead to problem described by me.

... and if there are too many changes in the zone, so IXFR would lead to
more data transferred than AXFR, the server should refuse IXFR and AXFR
should be used then. 

Disabling AXFR is bad idea again.
