I would like to limit access to my dns server to only port 53 (TCP and UDP). But if I set my router up to do this, zone tranfers do not complete. Can someone enlighten me!

You need to put this line in the named.conf under "options".
query-source address * port 53;
This will keep everything on port 53.
