I guess I will throw in my 2c to this conversation. For a couple of the domains I host I have been using DTDNS for secondary (but authoritative) axfr service. Its 5 bucks a year and they are very loose with there restrictions/tos and have a decentralized base of name servers located in different locations around the US. If you can AXFR it, they will host it. ns1.dtdns.com. IN A 64.156.29.49 ns2.dtdns.com. IN A 67.228.106.194 ns3.dtdns.com. IN A 75.126.80.224 ns1.twisted4life.com. IN A 202.157.182.142 Also, if you need a free secondary AXFR service, I also recommend twisted4life.com (located in Malaysia), but they only have 1 ns. I really dislike proprietary tools some vendors use (Godaddy, and the like), partially due to TOS restrictions, but also because most are ass hats. My recommended configuration is set up 1 or 2 local NSs and use a secondary NS for authoritative purposes. This reduces all the bandwidth or authoritative lookups, leaving only your zones to axfr, and no authority on any of your IPs. BIND9 views are sweet too!
