Any expert advice on Bind DNS zone file transfer (master->slave) via NFS? Are there any drawbacks for not using Bind's zone transfer feature?

Thanks a lot!

    Sounds a bit weird. Why wouldn't you use native zone transfers?

DNS has proper built in replication, so why bother with something like that? You're introducing an unnecessary a single point of failure.

Especially when you'll still need to issue a reload of any updated zone files on both DNS servers, as simply updating the zone file does not make it active on either of the servers.
