No, not if this server is authorative for that domain. You might want to
use allow-recurion { my_ip;}; instead which will allow those kinds of
queries but not allow them to use if for domains which you are not
authorative.

Yes. But see the migration document.

You don't appear to have a random device, so it was waiting for input from
the keyboard.

Which is fine.

It depends on where you told it to put the messages. syslog is the default.
You can try starting it interactively and seeing what messages are=
 generated:
named -g -c named.conf

You can also run named-checkconf to test named.conf and named-checkzone
to check out each zone file that you have.
