It has recently came to my attention that anyone can use our company's nameservers.
I recently setup my home machine to use the company's nameserver to confirm this.
I was wondering if there was anyway to prevent people from using our company's NS for

Hello!
You can reconfigure BIND so that it only answers to requests from your
company's network only. If recursiv resolving is what you mean. I suggest
you to use D. J. Bernstein's djbdns. It's small, fast, reliable and
secure. check it out - cr.yp.to/djbdns.html
I use it myself and suggest it
You could always firewall out port 53 on your external interface.

Well, if your company runs the DNS for your website on those servers and
you block outside IPs from querying from, no one on the internet will be
able to go to your website. :)
Overall, I do not think it is a big problem, unless someone is pointing
massive amounts of traffic to your DNS

Well, it is a problem if your DNS server has zone files for lots of
internal network servers.
You could have two seperate instances of BIND (if you need an external
dns server to be answering for your domain name etc). bind each to
theiir applicable interface.

If they start playing around with imap and storing large files and
