Yes, but the named.conf file that results is ambiguous.  It always has a
line that says recursion's allowed.

Perhaps that line is in error, or perhaps the proper directive isn't
making it into the file.  The blank line that appaears just before the
              "// recursion allowed"
and the "allowed" line being there makes it unclear if recursion is indeed
disabled.

Clearly, these days, fully open recursion is a Bad Thing(tm)!

Please see my other post with cut/paste examples of named.conf with and
without recursion IPs being included.

Also, the reply to that message from Gerald Waugh indicated a manual edit
worked for him, but the GUI didn't.

So looking into what the GUI's doing by someone knowing what it's
*supposed* to do seems appropriate.  :)
