How to restrict who can use my DNS Server

External Since: May 16, 2008 Posts: 1

Hi all:

I am fairly sure that this question has been asked many times but here
goes:

I have a Windows 2000 Server running DNS.

I want to configure it so that it only allow my own IP block to use
it, essentially, sorta like Bind "allow-query" statement. Others can
use it to query only domains that I host.

Is there such a thing in the Microsoft DNS World?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, no, not yet. In such a scenario where one would host
internal private and external public data and restrict views accordingly, I
would rather have two separate servers anyway.
