When I have a choice, I go with nsd for authoritive and with unbound for
recursive dns servers.  Bind is also a popular alternative.

Try to seperate your authorative and recursive dns servers.

Learn to use dig.

Careful with conntrack.  It is OK for a home/hobby server.  For a high
volume dns server, you don't want to reach conntrack limits before you
reach the limits of your dns software - which are usually much higher.
A stateful firewall for a dns server is not always a good choice - do
not make it easier to DoS.
