[Samba] Restrict who can query my DNS

Thank you very much for the promptness of your response.

blocking port 53 I don't think it's a good idea, at least in my situation, since for example I would have to open it in the future to be able to add new PCs to the domain.

I don't know if the samba configuration files, overwrite within the zone configuration of my domain, who can query my DNS (I suppose it does), but I can't find where I could modify it.

      The lazy solution is to block port 53 TCP/UDP. Besides that,
could you have somewhere down your config files that is overruling the
allow-query{}? I also wonder if you add the IP of said server, as
IP/32; in the allow-query{}; list it will make bind happy. You know,
just in case it is being paperclip helpful.
