When handling large inbound IXFRs, make appropriate use of an iterator to avoid client query processing starvation
Per Support ticket #15857 and Support ticket #15075, investigate how effectively BIND is using an iterator to handle both the incremental updates and the maintenance (and clean-up) of the structures being used to stage the changes.
There is also a suspicion that large IXFRs involving DNSSEC material, for example whole zone re-signs and regenerated NSEC and/or NSEC3 chains, or updates to the NSEC3PARAMs and regeneration of an NSEC3 chain may create IXFRs that are particularly indigestible. This may turn out to be unfounded, but is worth consideration and investigation.
