The document is a little sloppy. In addition to the mis-description of the DNS resolver algorithm, already noted in a previous post, the part in Section 8.1.2 about restricting zone transfers -- "These restrictions address [...] potential exploits from unrestricted dissemination of information about internal resources" -- makes up a "dissemination" threat out of thin air, which was not mentioned in the previous, supposedly-exhaustive enumeration of zone-transfer-related threats in Section 6.2 -- a) denial-of-service, and b) message tampering.

Is there a document for dns&  bind best practices?
