Morning Louis, Unless I totally misread this, the OP only wants the DC 
to query itself, no clients.

I could understand it if they only wanted domain members to query the DC.

Stop and think about this, a client wants to know where another domain 
member is, or worse still, where the DC is, who does it ask ? It asks 
its nameserver, which is the DC, but the DC rejects its request, so what 
does it do ?
