Cutting Off BIND
If BIND does not reduce its activity enough, you have other options for keeping the network connection from going up. You can cut off BIND from the Internet. However, you must still ensure that master servers are online long enough and often enough that the slave servers don't expire the zones.
Doing this is quite technical and can require passwords and triggering commands by command line, GUI, Web, or some other interface. If a user does not have the necessary expertise and access rights to perform this, the user will be unable to both cut off BIND and cut BIND back in. Working without a functioning name service can be quite frustrating, as can being called to help the person trying to get connected to the Net.
