DJB suggests using rsync over ssh: https://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tcp.html#intro-axfr

But I guess this excludes many of the popular DNS services that are used today.

I have an ansible script that ships all my zone files around. Functionally equivalent, I suppose.

From operational point of view DJB always recommended ridiculous things.

Hehe. But for those running their own DNS servers this seems feasible, no?

No. My domain uses five DNS servers under three different sysadmins. I can't possibly expect that fellow admins that were kind enough to run for me backup NS-es give me shell access to their systems.
