How to implement BIND ACL's

Hi, I want to use ACL's to prevent queries from outside of our local network and to blackhole RFC 1918 space. I have the ACL's created but where in BIND Global Server Options do I add these ACL's to make them active?

Thanks, Bill

You have created the ACLs via Webmin -> Servers -> Bind -> Access Control Lists

Now you need to use the ACL, rather than an IP, as arguments to allow-query (or other) statements either in specific zone files (zone options or zone defaults), or in the View configuration if you use views.

Be sure to use the "Check Bind Config" tool as you modify the configuration. Or from the shell, 'named-checkconf'.
