Re: limiting to resolving own zones

No, I'm afraid not. Not directly, anyway.

You could configure it to forward all queries to a non-existent
address (using slave forwarding). This option is in the server
options.

The result of this is, if your server receives a recursive query for
which it doesn't know the answer, it will forward the query to the
non-existent forwarder and wait for the answer. It will still tie up
a little bit of server resources, but it won't give any sort of
answer back to the client machine - this will discourage any
potential hijacker.
