To disable zone transfer
Login with root
edit named.conf
root@server [~]# vi /etc/named.conf
by setting this in options {}
allow-transfer { };
root@server [~]# :wq

versionĀ ” ” ;
This will disable your name server Version
That’s it you are done..

Another short but helpful post. I did not understand so much about zone transfer but this post has informed me quite more about it. If I am not wrong I think that this will help anyone get access to more data.
