There's no limit on the number of retries, it just retries until the zone
has expired. By default AD zones expire value is 1 day, which IMO, is too
short if your link goes down over the weekend, by the time it gets noticed
on Monday morning, the secondary could very well be expired. I don't think
it would hurt to increase the expire time to at least a week or so, RFCs
recommend 2-4 weeks.
