BIND Configuration File Guide - acl Statement


Syntax

acl name {
  address_match_list
};

Definition and Usage

The acl statement creates a named address match list. It gets its name from a primary use of address match lists: Access Control Lists (ACLs).

You must define an address match list's name with acl before you can use it elsewhere; no forward references are allowed.

The following ACLs are built-in:
any
Allows all hosts.
localhost
Allows the IP addresses of all interfaces on the system.
localnets
Allows any host on a network for which the system has an interface.
none
Denies all hosts.
