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!
