PowerDNS secondary servers receive empty SOA response for particular zone.

The permanent fix of for PowerDNS to follow the DNS protocol and make the query over TCP. 

They have a choice of solutions.  Just make a TCP query and make a second TCP query for the XFR.  Make a TCP query and then the XFR if required over the same TCP connection.
