Is your root zone "hints" file something like this? You may not have
included the addresses?
============================ fake.cache ===============================
. 99999999 IN NS fw1.your.domain.
fw1.your.domain. 99999999 IN A 192.168.1.1
. 99999999 IN NS fw2.your.domain.
fw2.your.domain. 99999999 IN A 192.168.2.1
$INCLUDE "root.cache"
=======================================================================
I include the real root cache just to get rid of the initial error
messages that 8.2 produces ... the first thing 'named' will do is try
to get the list of "real" root servers from the alleged root server(s).
