I think the OP was asking how to restrict queries so that they are honored only by specific DNS servers. That can certainly be done as we're doing it here.
The reason for doing this might be that there are "internal" DNS servers (e.g. Windows DNS) that all the client workstations are supposed to use for name resolution of internal servers. There would be separate "external" DNS servers (e.g. BIND on Linux) that are used as authoritative servers for domains you want external people to see AND are the ones that do the recursive lookups for zones you're not authoritative for (e.g. google.com, yahoo.com). The "internal" DNS servers would be configured to do lookups for everything they're not authoritative for to the "external" servers. We do exactly that here. What we did (this is 9.3.4-P1 backported for the Kaminsky attack) in named.conf: 1) Create an ACL: acl "internaldns" { 10.0.x.x; 10.0.x.x; }; In above the 10.0.x.x. addresses would be the IPs of the "internal" DNS servers. 2) In "options" section restricted allow-query and allow-recursion to internaldns ACL: allow-query { internaldns; }; allow-recursion { internaldns; }; The allow query was to allow it to read cache. In later versions you don't require both statements I think. 3) For each zone we were authoritative for and defined in named.conf we added: allow-query { any; }; That allows anyone internal or external to query the zones. If you wanted to actually restrict even such authoritative zones you'd just leave out this step and the global options would restrict them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Pounsett Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 1:24 PM To: Sener ATAS Cc: bind-users@isc.org Subject: Re: bind request configuration On 28-Aug-2008, at 13:16 , Sener ATAS wrote: > Hi all, > > I use bind-9.5.0-P1 version on FreeBSD. > > This server is open to my networks outside.

There's no way I know of to differentiate between the two. If you have a known set of servers you want to allow, you can either use ACLs to limit access by IP address, or TSIG to authenticate clients. ---------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
