Preventing recursion ... (preventing confusion?)

Newer BIND versions (9.4 and newer) have the "allow-query-cache" option
which is used to specify which hosts are allowed to get answers from the
cache. (I don't think you are seeing recursion, but just what is already 
in your cache.)

With older versions, a workaround is to have a default allow-query for 
just your local networks (like your allow-recursion) in the options and 
then open up allow-query { any; }; just within your specific zone 
statements.
