Hmmm.. of course, everybody should know not to allow AXFR, but in
practice you will find a lot of systems which do.

(Murphy's law implies that if a misconfiguration is possible, it
exists somewhere on the internet. I got a complaint to abuse@ once
because we were "attacking" someone's domain controller on port 123.
Turns out he had promoted it to a stratum 1 NTP server and was seeing
a standard ntpd exchange being dropped by his firewall. Nothing
surprises me any more.)
