i'm sorry for not being clear

basically what i want to do is restrict people from using my name server,
but when i put allow-query i don't think it serves my domains anymore,
'cause neither root servers and/or secondary and/or primary nameserver that
hosting this domain won't be able to access this nameserver.

grr.. it sounds so unclear again:(

let me put it this way..

i have my box (nameserver) which is box.nexgen.com, plus i have some other
box let's say box2.nexgen.com .. for example they hosting example.com domain
box.nexgen.com being as a primary and box2.nexgen.com being as a secondary
name server, after i add allow-query on box.nexgen.com i get this denied
error message in logs file which is supposly fine.. *BUT* my feeling is that
after limiting query i also limiting everyone to see any changes that i do
to that domain,

in other words i want people from outside of my network (evil internet) to
allow query only domains that i host and whoever is on my inside network
(local network) to query whatever they want.
