Access to use your DNS server for recursive queries is controlled in your named.conf in section options.
Especially I have for example: allow-query { ::1/128; 127.0.0.1; localnets; }; recursion yes;
Which means that only localhost and "localnets" are allowed to use your DNS server to resolve any fqdn.
Access to your own local zones is granted in the respective zone section where you may want to define: allow-query { any; }; if your hosts should be reachable externally.

Thank you Wolfgang....now another stupid question for you if you don't mind too much please. I can't see where in the YAST program this can be done .... other perhaps in the sysconfig editor, but if in there, where? If not, I'll head out into 'vi' land but I hate modifying the config files by hand because SUSE seems to come along later and change them again, occasionally overwriting changes I've made manually. So, I tread in this area carefully when this possibility exists and I know YAST does diddle with the DNS configuration files...so....
