Restrict queries to your customers. (in /etc/named.conf)


options {
        directory "/var/bind";
        listen-on-v6 { any; };
        allow-query {
                127.0.0.1;
                160.124.0.0/16;
                2001:42a0::/32;
                192.96.24.0/21;
        };
};

ie - my customers are on:- 160.124.0.0/16; - etc

If you have a checker tool and you run it internally - it'll obviously
still say you are 'open to recursion'.

If this is also an authoritative nameserver (you host a domain or two)
then...

(named.conf)

acl posix-cust { 160.124.0.0/16; 192.96.24.0/21; 127.0.0.1;
2001:42a0::/32; };

options {
        directory "/var/bind";
        listen-on-v6 { any; };
        allow-query { any; };
        allow-recursion { posix-cust; };
};

Anyone can ask non-recursive questions - but only customers can ask
recursive questions
