-Maximum size of the zone, used to limit AXFR and IXFR zone trasnfer.

+Maximum size of the zone. The size is measured as size of the zone records
+in wire format without compression. The limit is enforced for incoming zone
+transfers.
+
+For incremental transfers (IXFR), the effective limit for the total size of
+the records in the transfer is twice the configured value. However the final
+size of the zone must satisfy the configured value.
