As I recall, the example MySQL schema is such that the xfr_table looks
like this:

+--------+------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field  | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------+------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| zone   | text |      |     |         |       |
| client | text |      |     |         |       |
+--------+------+------+-----+---------+-------+

and the executed query is this:

{select zone from xfr_table where zone = '%zone%' and client = '%client
%'}";

So, given the wildcard symbols there, if you talk about a domain
"xfrdomain.tld" and a client "10.0.0.1", then you'd put:

zone = xfrdomain.tld
client = 10.0.0.1

For a /8 network with all zones, I'd try:

zone = *
client = 10.*.*.*

as your entries in the xfr_table. I can't recall exactly but this does
rattle some dim distant work I did a few years ago. I rarely, if ever,
allow AXFR these days :)
