Thank you, Joshua Lewis Well, what's available to the Internet is the information in the zone files, not the daemon's configuration file, so I'd think you'd be safe. YMMV.

The named.conf file doesn't get queried from the net.

random device settings on bind9
I have set up bind 9.2.3 on 4.10. I followed the instructions for setting up random as per the instructions at the end of the bind install. the instructions say to add the rndc-key in my namd.conf.
