[nsd-users] on axfr fallback

I don't have time to do test, so I am going to ask.  What error code does
bind returns if you delete it's journal (and ixfr-from-differences is yes)?
Ie. if bind cannot provide IXFR, only AXFR?  Will nsd fallback to AXFR in
that case?  (I hope the answer is that it's the FORMATERR error code ;)).
