I have been running for many hours with the server ip addresses with no
problem. But I do understand the question, it may be that 127.0.0.1 would be
"less" exploitable.
It's fast to test, put it in there do an
`ncd reload; tail -f /var/log/messages`
Then try and send an email
Or better yet let someone else try and send you an email.

I have servers on my network that use my nameservers, and they need to be able
to use recursive lookups.
Now if you just have one indepndent server, your suggestion sounds like it
would work
