Public DNS - recursion no - Access to the Internet

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

You use "recursion yes" along with "allow-recursion" to restrict it to a 
set IP range.
You don't need "nameserver 0.0.0.0" in your resolv.conf as that will 
just confuse things because it's not a valid IP address.  Leave it as 
"nameserver 127.0.0.1"
