The cause of the problem s BIND. The solution is very simple: djbdns.
For those that think it does not do zone transfers: axfrdns. It comes

While I am very serious that djbdns fixes all the problems that BIND
has, I marked this message as a troll as I know that some people *do*
foam at the mouth at the sight of the djb initials[1]. Other people are
firmly wedded to the way that BIND does things.

Actually, djbdns is pretty good (and I'm one of the anti-qmail people). Unlike qmail where there are actual standards and RFC's that DJB refuses to support because of his principles, I believe that djbdns actually supports the full spectrum of DNS capabilities.

In addition, unlike the difference between postfix and qmail (rather small even for those of us who prefer postfix), the difference in obtuseness/complexity/etc. between BIND and djbdns is very large. djbdns is sufficiently more pleasant than BIND in enough cases that it is worth putting up with the unpleasantness of the author.
