DNS Zone Transfers

Question. In Windows 2008 I have my two DCs setup with DNS (obv) and in their zone tabs they are set to only allow zone transfers to the servers listed in the named servers tab. When I log into my Windows XP client and enter nslookup in the command line. I then put in ls -d mydomain.local and it tells me that the query is refused. This is what I expected and want.

Now I log into my ubuntu client and from the command line run "dig server01 mydomain.local axfr". Now being that the zone transfers are restricted I assumed that the results of this command should also produce a "query is refused" but instead it **** the entire zone file for my domain. Why is this?!
