As long as you have a way to keep them up to date and in sync then that is your business, and it's fine. AXFR is not mandated as the method.

The pros depend on your reasons for doing this. The most obvious con is that it's going to be a lot easier to end up with inconsistent data unless you are careful.

Depending on your reasons for doing this it may be better to use a different nameserver, like powerdns with a mysql backend and mysql replication for keeping in sync, for example. Without you saying why you want to do this it is hard to speculate.

Cheers,
Andy
