bind: Modify default config to be more secure
By default BIND will happily serve as both an authoritative nameserver and recursive resolver, but this is no longer a recommended or desirable configuration. The previous default configuration did not draw attention to this fact and the issues involved. Users are now made to rename one of two sample configuration files, named.conf.authoritative or named.conf.recursive. Comments inside either file advise DNS administrators of the most prevalent security issues. This ensures that users setting up an authoritative nameserver do not unwittingly also operate a resolver. In the previous default configuration, BIND would happily perform recursive resolution for localhost, which means that the local machine may receive non-authoritative data from what is supposed to be an authoritative nameserver. Both default configurations disable zone transfers by default, as BIND defaults to enabling them for any host (!).

+// *** IMPORTANT ***
+// You should note that running an open DNS resolver (that is, a resolver which
+// answers queries from any globally routable IP) makes the resolver vulnerable
+// to abuse in the form of reflected DDoS attacks.
+//
+// These attacks are now widely prevalent on the open internet. Even if
+// unadvertised, attackers can and will find your resolver by portscanning the
+// global IPv4 address space.
+//
+// In one case the traffic generated using such an attack reached 300 Gb/s (!).
+//
+// It is therefore imperative that you take care to configure the resolver to
+// only answer queries from IP address space you trust or control. See the
+// "allow-recursion" directive below.
+//
+// Bear in mind that with these attacks, the "source" of a query will actually
+// be the intended target of a DDoS attack, so this only protects other networks
+// from attack, not your own; ideally therefore you should firewall DNS traffic
+// at the borders of your network to eliminate spoofed traffic.

+// This is a complex issue and some level of understanding of these attacks is
