Although I'd be very hard-pressed to consider this a "security" issue
(or a FreeBSD one), the precise syntax will depend on which nameserver
software you are using.

For example, with BIND 8, the "options" statement may be used to specify
a default policy with respect to zone transfers, and the "stanzas" for
individual zones may contain clauses that override that default.  The
O'Reilly _DNS and BIND_ volume covers the material rather thoroughly.

Cheers,
