Your name server is acting as a resolver? as a primary? as a secondary?

To restrict the access to a particular function of your name server, you  
should use "allow-transfer", "allow-query" or "allow-update".

In particular, if you need to restrict which clients are allowed to use  
your server as resolver, use this:

acl resolver {
	127.0.0.1;
	10.20.30.0/24;   // Your own networks here
	10.21.30.0/24;   // Your own networks here
};


and in the section "options", add

allow-query { resolver; };

If you have further questions, send them to the list.

Best Regards
