Fix Recommendation

Configure the DNS server to require devices to re-authenticate each time a zone transfer is initiated and each time a client makes a dynamic update request. Note that the requirement should be inherently met if DNSSEC and TSIG/SIG(0) are enabled.

Check Contents

Review the DNS server implementation configuration to determine if the DNS server requires devices to re-authenticate each time a zone transfer is initiated and each time a client makes a dynamic update request. If the DNS server does not require devices to re-authenticate each time a zone transfer is initiated and each time a client makes a dynamic update request, this is a finding. Note that the requirement should be inherently met if DNSSEC and TSIG/SIG(0) are enabled.
