Yes... Basically our name servers are run by different companies/people
and AXFR is deemed more secure/reliable then SQL replication.

We're only utilising NAPTR and TXT records...

NAPTR for the enum.164 route records, and TXT for storing person and
company name information so when you get an incoming VoIP call you can
do a simple DNS lookup to find out who is calling you.

We also publish about 170,000 records of geographical information people
can fall back on.

eg

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;1.0.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.cc.e164.org. IN  TXT

;; ANSWER SECTION:
1.0.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.cc.e164.org. 604800 IN TXT "USA Ohio"

I keep meaning to add another 170,000 records but that's something to do
on a rainy day...
