What you're talking about is recursive-resolution access restrictions. It's akin to relay restrictions in mail server software. And yes, BIND currently supports this. There is a work-around, involving adding additional servers. You'd have one (or two, or more) servers responsible for serving your domain(s) to the world, which would have recursion completely disabled. You'd then have one (or more) servers responsible for recursive resolution. Your firewall or router would then block incoming new connections to the resolver. Of course, there isn't an easy way to disable recursion in QuickDNS Pro. One way is to set it for slave-forwarding, with queries forwarded to a nonexistent host. NOTE: If you need to do this, you don't need to buy new licenses of QuickDNS for the purpose. Just limit yourself to no more than two resolvers and two public name servers per license. We will definitely be adding recursion restrictions in QuickDNS Pro 3. It was one of the first additions to the feature list. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
