This is true.  I have not tried to slave a BIND server to a server I do
not control.  Seems that as long as there is no access control (or one
falls under said access control) and the axfr is available, then setting
up a slave should be possible.

Agree, this is atypical, and as such pretty interesting.
Can you `dig` an axfr from the master or a slave on the domain?

Thanks!
