Check for dns recursion restrictions

Dr. McKay · Dec 30, 2016

In CSF for my WHM/cPanel it is appearing this error:

Code:

You have a local DNS server running but do not have any recursion restrictions  set in /etc/named.conf. This is a security and performance risk and you should  look at restricting recursive lookups to the local IP addresses only

But it does not specify where and how to fix the problem. I figured named.conf would be a config file but it looks more like a script. What should I do now to fix this. Could anyone support?

Hello,
you just have to add the following options to /etc/named.conf :

Code:

options {        
allow-recursion {
localhost;
};
