ACL

Click DNS management > ACL

Access Control Lists (ACLs) are address match lists that you can set up and nickname for future used in allow-notify, allow-query, allow-query-on, allow-recursion, allow-recursion-on, black hole, allow-transfer, etc.

Using ACLs allows you have fined control over who can access your name server, without cluttering up your config files with huge lists of IP address.

It is a good idea to use ACLs, and to control access to your server. Limiting access to your server by outside parties can help prevent spoofing and denial of service (DoS) attacks against your server.
