Default How do I fix open DNS servers as reported by dnsreport.com?

How do I fix open DNS servers as reported by dnsreport.com?This seems to be a common theme for cpanel servers.Please check your nameservers with this tool( http://dnsreport.com). If you get a red box that says Open DNS Servers, please fix it quickly by using the following instructions.Edit /etc/named.conf and find the section that looks like this:




options { directory "/var/named"; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged * port by default. */ // query-source address * port 53;};




******* *
Add this line after the directory line:
allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; 123.123.123.123; 456.456.456.456; };
Change 123.123.123.123 and 456.456.456.456 with your dedicated server IP addresses and then restart bind.
