Just build zones for your local domain and its reverse, and note the
following from the named.conf man page:

     allow-query
       Specifies which hosts are allowed to ask ordinary questions.  allow-
       query may also be specified in the zone statement, in which case it
       overrides the options allow-query statement.  If not specified, the =
de-
       fault is to allow queries from all hosts.
