Preventing external lookups

[Mark_Andrews at isc.org]

> Hello,

> Running BIND 8.4.1, I loaded a large master zone from a DNS blocklist. The
> result? Matches are found very fast, of course. But when BIND cannot find a

> So, my question is, can I prevent any external lookups for one specific
> zone? External meaning: anything not defined in the zone file itself.
