How to Disable DNS Recursion in Bind

October 31st, 2009

Disabling DNS recursion is something most administrators will suggest, as having it enabled can cause performance issues.

vi /etc/named.conf

recursion no;

If recursion yes; is already there, just change it to recursion no; and restart named to activate your changes.

./scripts/restartsrv_named
