Hello


Allow-query is only allowed for specified IP defined in the allow-query
statement.

you should better not use this definition.

you can NOT know if a hostname exists before you try to resolve it. After
that, you can't block it anymore.

do you allow recursion for remote clients? (recursion and allow-recursion
statemends)
Do you allow DNS access from remote clients? (allow-query statement)

Perhaps denying remote clients from even accessing your caching server would
help you with this problem.
