suggestion for feature

|   i was poking around the source the other day to try and see how hard it
|   might be to allow a nameserver to be setup so that recursive queries are
|   allowed from certain ips (internal users) and not allowed from the rest of
|   the net.  i was thinking that a simple acl with a fixed name
|   (allow_recursion or the like) could be used and just check for that as
|   well as looking at the global recursion flag (which would be off in this
|   scenario).

This functionality will be available in 8.2.1. If you want a patch for
8.1.2 send me an email. Note that it only works with global recursion
turned on (allow-recursion + ACL determines *who* is allowed recursive
queries).
