[bind10-dev] minimum authoritative DNS server requirements ?

[Jerry Scharf]

Would zone transfer access control be part of the minimum list?

I am assuming that configuration and management would be done from a 
static file and that my work with the command tool would not cover this. 
I would also assume that there would be nothing like rndc, the program 
would respond to signals for any controls. Are these correct?
