Setting configuration options to reduce the possibility of problems.
There are a few simple steps that you can take which will both make your server more secure and potentially reduce its load. The material presented here is nothing more than a starting point; if you are concerned about security (and you should be), please consult other resources on the net (see the last chapter).
The following configuration directives occur in named.conf
. If
a directive occurs in the options
section of the file, it applies
to all zones listed in that file. If it occurs within a zone
entry, it applies only to that zone. A zone
entry overrides an
options
entry.
