Turning Off Recursion For Windows DNS Server
DNS recursion / open DNS server is when your DNS server is readily available to do DNS lookups for the general public. If you are an open DNS server it is most likely that your server will get abused by spammers and others alike, and is very resource consuming. If you need to turn DNS recursion off for your Bind installation, follow these steps.
1) Login to your Windows server via Remote Desktop.
2) Open the Windows DNS server console, by using the following steps:
Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > DNS
3) In the consolse tree, right-click on the concerned DNS server.
4) Select 'Properties' which will open a new windows, then select the 'Advanced' tab.
5) Under 'Server Options' select 'Disable Recursion' checkbox, then click the application ok/apply buttons.
