Eh? I don't understand this. Response Policy Zones are /zones/, as the nomenclature implies: they are maintained, transferred, managed with zone handling machinery.

In my test (I have BIND 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.9-Ubuntu) I have following named.conf:

options {
        response-policy {zone "rpz"; };

zone "rpz" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/rpz.zone";
};

RPZ zone is only use internally to Bind. It doesn't need to be
resolvable outside. So you can skip the zone declaration.

If you need zone declaration (cause you have slaves for this zone),
you can restrict access to it by adding "allow-query { slaves... };"
on master and "allow-query {};" on slaves.

Probably doesn't need to be queryable by the outside world, no. But this doesn't indicate what access controls are or are not in place. I can assure you that on the machine that masters my RPZ, I update it with dynamic updates (that's what net-dns.pl does), and it's declared just about like that.

It is handy to be able to query the RPZ as a legitimate zone for debugging and management purposes, case in point.
