Protect DNS

Best practice protection approaches for DNS software are as follows:
• Running the latest version of name server software, or an earlier version with appropriate patches
• Running name server software with restricted privileges
• Isolating name server software
• Setting up a dedicated name server instance for each function
• Removing name server software from nondesignated hosts
• Creating a topological and geographic dispersion of authoritative name servers for fault tolerance
• Limiting IT resource information exposure through two different zone files in the same physical name server (termed as split DNS) or through separate name servers for different client classes.
