It seems that the documention[1] does not list you can POST a Zone
object to the endpoint like this:

  {
    "kind": "Slave",
    "masters": ["192.0.2.1"],
    "name": "example.com."
  }

To AXFR retrieve, the docs[2] do show that you need to PUT to
/servers/{server_id}/zones/{zone_id}/axfr-retrieve.

Best regards,

Pieter
