If you want named to be authoritative only set "recursion no;" or
"allow-recursion { none; }" or "allow-query-cache { none; };" and
no data will be returned from the cache.  allow-recursion and
allow-query-cache cross inherit from each other.

If you only want master zones to send notify messages then set
"notify master-only;".

If you want named to only use the same nameservers as the system
uses then set "forward only; forwarders { <list from resolv.conf>; };".
Named does not read resolv.conf though the tools do.
