> My Linux system uses a bogus domainname. It is a COM domain. > How can I verify that I am not doing any outbound zone transfers? > I do not want to confuse anyone out there. Without going to deeply into the workings of domain name servers and transfers, any zones that a machine holds as files are either generated by that machine as a master file or pulled off another server, if they allow transfer by you. If you run a bogus domain, you won't have any problem unless (for some unknown reason) someone tries to transfer it to you. Just set allow-transfers in named.conf to the loopback device and you'll be all set. Due to the setup of dns, there's no reason you should have to worry, and there shouldn't be any possible reason for outbound transfer that is initiated by your machine to anywhere else.
