close your open DNS servers
For who have recently notice that now DNSreport do verify if your DNS is recursive lookup or not, here is the tip on how to set it up.
open you named.conf and add before options { the follow lines:
acl “trusted” {
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
};
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your ip address same for yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy.
for cpanel users, you can find yours ips in the follow file: /etc/nameserverips
after that, inside the options add after the line “// query-source address * port 53;” the follow:
allow-recursion { trusted; };
allow-notify { trusted; };
allow-transfer { trusted; };
also uncomment the line “// query-source address * port 53;” “to query-source address * port 53;” with out the ” (double-quotes).
restart your service.
Verify again your status with DNSreport.
Observation: you can also set up a version line it should be like:
version “Oh come on why do you want to know witch version my DNS server is ?”;
this line can be add iside your named.conf
