Your statement is correct, however it does not help when you are running a 
domain name server which does need to be accessible from the outside, but you 
only want people to do standard lookups, and not zone transfers.

I agree with Maciej - you should set appropriate access controls on the name 
server itself, because netfilter cannot do it for you.
