Properly Setup MDC with Mountain Lion

When I seutp the server app on Mountain Lion it asks which interface it should use to configure the server - would I do public or private? Mountain Lion also automatically enables DNS services. I understand that DNS queries should not be running across the metadata network but is it ok to leave it on in Mountain Lion or should I kill it?

Use the public interface.
