in reply to axfr method with Net::DNS::Resolver returning zero entries

The DNS server you're querying has to explicitly allow your host to do AXFR requests. If you're not on the list, you're out of luck.

Since you're going to take over the domain, isn't it possible to ask the current owner for the zone file?

    Thanks. Exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, I got the zone files from the DNS admin, but he's not always in, and since he's the only one handling DNS for that domain, it's kind of a hassle to keep asking him for updates. I'd rather have write a script for perl to do it. That way also, right before it's migrated, I can have a snapshot to compare to.

    OK, I'll ask if my box can get added to his list to allow it to do axfr requests.
