As long as less then a handful for RR are returned UDP is fine. ... Don't
forget to allow the DNS servers outbound reply.

Subject: DNS ACL ?

Hello All,

 

I need a sanity check regarding DNS ACLs. For external facing DNS servers
you need to allow only udp/53 inbound, correct? I know tcp/53 is used for
zone transfers and requests/replies greater than a certain size, but they
shouldn't typically happen for general dns queries correct?

 

Thanks in advance!
