I never heard of laws that forbids you to get DNS content from a server. Maybe
I am late with the news, but
as long as it is only an information disclosure it shouldnt be less legal than
a port scan.
But back to the topic I successfully extracted information using AXFR and I am
thinking of a poisoning,
but again there is a lack of good documentation on this areas or maybe lack of
interest.
I have found this as a good reading about AXFR and poisoning

Subject: Re: anonymous Zonetransfer (AXFR) exploatation
Ok, ok, so i used the verb in the wrong way :).
I was just amazed at "should be considered". I myself still try it from
time to time, but in this part of the world (yeah, i know Romania has a
bad reputation) it seldom works.
So, let's stick to the matter at hand: i agree, it should be part of a
standard pen-test if there are no specific laws against using it even in
test conditions.
Cheers,

the 10 seconds it takes to check there's been a few times where I've
downloaded an AD domains' worth of hosts. Even just getting a list of
hosts with a few interesting CNAME entries can give you a few
potential targets or point to domains you weren't previously aware of.

Actually, they were, a long time ago.
