Make sure that you keep distinct in your mind the difference
between the private caching nameserver that this machine may use for
it's own local resolution purposes (e.g., listed in /etc/resolv.conf)
which may or may not even be on the same machine, and the public
authoritative nameserver function that this machine performs for the
entire abc.com domain.
These are two totally separate and distinct roles, and it is my
personal opinion that they should ideally be done on totally separate
machines, with totally separate instances of BIND (or other
nameserver software), etc....
