Make sure to secure your recursive resolvers (including your RB450's with "enable remote requests" set), or you'll be exploited for a DNS reflection DOS.

The easiest way to do that is to configure either the firewall on your DNS server, or the DNS server itself, to only allow requests from your IP subnets.

*Subject: *[Mikrotik Users] DNS caching on PPPoE concentrator

I hand out IPs to client routers from 450G gateways via PPPoE. The 450s are configured for DNS caching with remote requests enabled, but the PPPoE servers configured on the LAN interfaces specify my upstream provider and Google DNS nameservers. Do DNS requests from PPPoE clients use the cache, or do I need to specify the router itself as a DNS server in the PPPoE server/s?
