Primary authoritative DNS service members must be configured to only receive zone transfer requests from specified secondary DNS service members.
Description
Discussion Text
Authoritative name servers (especially primary name servers) must be configured with an allow-transfer access control sub-statement designating the list of hosts from which zone transfer requests can be accepted. These restrictions address the denial-of-service threat and potential exploits from unrestricted dissemination of information about internal resources.
Based on the need-to-know, only the secondary name servers need to refresh their zone files periodically. Zone transfer from primary name servers must be restricted to secondary name servers. The zone transfer must be completely disabled in the secondary name servers. The address match list argument for the allow-transfer sub-statement must consist of IP addresses of secondary name servers and stealth secondary name servers.
