## Description
This plugin answers zone transfers for authoritative plugins that implement `transfer.Transferer`.
*transfer* answers full zone transfer (AXFR) requests and incremental zone transfer (IXFR) requests
with AXFR fallback if the zone has changed.
When a plugin wants to notify it's secondaries it will call back into the *transfer* plugin.
The following plugins implement zone transfers using this plugin: *file*, *auto*, *secondary*, and
*kubernetes*. See `transfer.go` for implementation details if you are a plugin author that wants to
use this plugin.
## Syntax
~~~
transfer [ZONE...] {
to ADDRESS...
}
~~~
* **ZONE** The zones *transfer* will answer zone transfer requests for. If left blank, the zones
are inherited from the enclosing server block. To answer zone transfers for a given zone,
there must be another plugin in the same server block that serves the same zone, and implements
`transfer.Transferer`.
* `to` **ADDRESS...** The hosts *transfer* will transfer to. Use `*` to permit transfers to all
addresses. **ADDRESS** must be denoted in CIDR notation (e.g., 127.0.0.1/32) or just as plain
addresses. `to` may be specified multiple times.
## Examples
See the specific plugins using this plugin for examples on it's usage.
