Using he.net as master in backup dns / allow axfr transfers from he.net?

Sorry, this isn't anything to do with ipv6, specifically... but I can't find a he.net forum for DNS, so...

Due to some issues with previous DNS host, I've moved domain vankampen.com.au to he.net free DNS hosting, with zoneedit as backup DNS. However, as you can see from http://www.intodns.com/vankampen.com.au zoneedit NS's are lame. I assume this is because they don't have permission to do AXFR transfer from he.net (zoneedit is set to slave from master 216.218.130.2 - ns1.he.net). Is there any way for me to edit/add/change AXFR permissions in he.net DNS?

Thanks.

I never did work this out. I've changed it to work the other way around (using zoneedit as master, he.net as slave), and that appears to work well, so this is no longer an issue. Thanks :)

Though I guess it would be interesting to know if it is possible to use he.net as a master...?

I have just migrated my domain to free dns server and saw that axfr it's working. Is it an option or is there a way to use it? Someone managed to use it?
