There is no substitute for testing assumptions, mailing list assurances, understandings of documentation, etc. Test from outside your network to see that your DNS servers don't answer requests they shouldn't and answer those they should as they should (e.g. with(out) consulting the cache). Don't forget to check `dig @whatever chaos txt version.bind` whether your preference is to publish your version, hostname, and server-ID or not. Restrictions such as allow-query{} in the main options{} statement can turn off the hidden "_bind" view defined in bin/named/config.c. https://www.google.com/search?q=dig+command+web finds at least three web pages with loose enough parsing to allow not only simply requests for A records but poking at chaos, so you don't need to pay for a shell account somewhere or rely on charity.
