Like only my own network ip addresses will be allowed to query my DNS server. All the rest are not allowed.
There are two ways to do this: The first way to do this (assuming you have one network interface for the internal network and a different one (e.g. eth1 or ppp0) for the rest of the world) is to only bind the DNS server to the internal interface. You can set this using the 'listen-on ...' option in /etc/named.conf The second way is to set up an ACL (access control list) to limit who can query your DNS server. This is done with the 'allow-query ...' option in /etc/named.conf. Both of the above generally appear in the options {} statetment in /etc/named.conf. If you do a 'man named.conf' you should find that the sections on access control and interfaces are right beside each other.
