how to implement DNS server securely

Hi all, i have 2 DNS server for primary and secondary. In security overview, u should allow only permitted host fro recursion and forwarder only to the ISP DNS. But i'm not really understand about the zone transfer and which DNS should i configure to allow zone transfer.

Not really.
Zone transfert would give an attacker a complete map of your network.. it's avery bad idea to give allow this.

Primary needs to allow zone transfer to secondary. Preferably with dnssec.
