You can also say:

options {
    ...
    listen-on { 192.168.0.1; 127.0.0.1; };
};              ^^^^^^^^^^^
         (Or whatever your server's local IP is)

This way it will only listen on those interfaces.
Also, there's allow-query and blackhole... _Plus_ you can just use a 
packet filter
to protect your DNS-server from the internet. Possibilities are 
endless... =)

Kind regards,
Benjamin
