Ok, I did not look that closely at your root.hints file :-) the address in
root.hints is an address that you say that you are the DNS for. That will
probably create these problems. Sounds like recursion :-) I found your
first message about this and I see there that 10.20.0.13 is your own
machine.
So you should exchange root.hints with one from ftp.rs.internic.net,
containing the real root-servers (as Barry Margolin explains) Or,
if you have no out-side connection to the Internet, just skip the
root.hints section (or perhaps make it blank.) I'm a bit out on the
thin ice here, but I think that would solve your problem.
