According to the Debian wiki on bind9, https://wiki.debian.org/Bind9, and in the file stated below it refers to a listen-on address. Now, as far as I can gather from what I read is that the second part of the IP Address can be anything in the range 1-xxx. So I could put 10.0.0.xx, as that is the protocol my router uses. Does anyone have any way of explaining the listen-on part of this config file?

In file /etc/bind/named.conf.options
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
// Exchange port between DNS servers
query-source address * port *;
// Transmit requests to 192.168.1.1 if
// this server doesn't know how to resolve them
forward only;
forwarders { 192.168.1.1; };
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
// From 9.9.5 ARM, disables interfaces scanning to prevent unwanted stop listening
interface-interval 0;
// Listen on local interfaces only(IPV4)
listen-on-v6 { none; };
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0.1; };
// Do not transfer the zone information to the secondary DNS
allow-transfer { none; };
// Accept requests for internal network only
allow-query { internals; };
// Allow recursive queries to the local hosts
allow-recursion { internals; };
// Do not make public version of BIND
version none;
};
