You need to turn off the "recursion" setting. From a DNS server I
maintain, in the "options" section at the top I have:

  allow-recursion { none; };

You can be more flexible there, for example allowing recursion for your
internal LAN clients but not the outer world.

Patent laws: made for the benefit of little inventors, opposed by little
