You're speaking out of your depth, Damien. A monkey can set up a DNS server
that's still vulnerable to DNS cache poisoning and acting as an open
recursive DNS server.

A properly trained monkey, however, will set up their DNS with ACLs so that
only their net blocks can use them for resolving queries. I'm willing to
bet that if I examined your configuration I could point out lots of problems
with your setup.

Don't start slinging aspersions until you know for certain your monkey is
house broken. And knows how to use a spell checker.
