Can I disable recursion on my Windows 2K server without having any adverse affects on the rest of my network?

Question

Is this something I even need to worry about or should I just forget it and concentrate on other security threats?

Answer 1

I only have a few rules on server management :)

If its not broken, dont touch it
If you dont know what it does, dont touch it
Make sure the backup is working

Answer 2

If you are using your server for DNS and you disable recursion noone will be able to resolve names to get out to the internet unless you do port forwarding to another DNS server.
