Or you can explicitly set allow-query { any; } in every zone you are
authoritative, and allow-query { your-internal-nets; } in the global
options section of named.conf.

Entries like the following will apear in the security logfile, which
confirm the desired result :)

security: client 213.92.80.163#1138: query (cache)
'www.aekwien.or.at/A/IN' denied
security: client 213.92.80.163#1138: query (cache)
'35.151.85.80.bl.spamcop.net/A/IN' denied
security: client 213.92.80.163#1138: query (cache) 'pandora.be/TXT/IN'
