Disabling Recursive Queries - Cpanel

[unknown888]

Could anyone tell me, how do I disable Recursive Queries?. I did a check using intodns.com which stated that Recursive queries are enabled and this could be misused

Thanks in advance

For linux (named DNS server) edit the named.conf file found in /etc/named.conf and add this line in the options clause:

recursion no;

Be sure to make a backup of named.conf before doing this.

Done. Do I need to restart any services?

Yes.

rndc reload

or

service named restart
