/* Semantics:
   
- only one backend owns the SOA of a zone
- only one AXFR per zone at a time - double startTransaction should fail
- backends need to implement transaction semantics


How BindBackend would implement this:
   startTransaction makes a file 
   feedRecord sends everything to that file 
   commitTransaction moves that file atomically over the regular file, and triggers a reload
   rollbackTransaction removes the file


How PostgreSQLBackend would implement this:
   startTransaction starts a sql transaction, which also deletes all records
   feedRecord is an insert statement
   commitTransaction commits the transaction
   rollbackTransaction aborts it

How MySQLBackend would implement this:
