Zone transfers are on tcp/53, DNS lookups are 53/udp, so:

pass in on $ext_if proto udp from any to $DNS port 53 keep state

and if required:

pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from $ext_net to $DNS port 53 keep state

I use TinyDNS here, so we don't really need to transfer zones as its
handled with a single data file. CARP can be good with DNS.
