Do you agree with this:
1.Slave zone takes precedence over the root server,i.e slave statement is
like the 'GOTO' in the old Pascal programs. The authoritative server looks
in its own zone file if it can't find the request, it looks in the slave
zones, if it can't find the request in the slave, then uses the hint file
in-order to query the root server.
The order is this:
a. own zone
b. slave zones
c. hints file or in my case master (for internal root server)
2. Do agree that Internic root servers have nothing in their hints file.
3. When you register a domain name with Internic, can you summarise what
files gets updated on the internic root server. My mind keeps conflicting
on this.
4.
Content of my hint file on the root server (intra.net: 10.50.1.5) , in this
case it's not hint file it's defined as type master in the named.conf on my
internal root server
. IN SOA global-dnsa.intra.net. dns-admin.intra.net.

On other server such as annika and jayuk the contents of the hint file is :
; named.root
. 3600000 IN NS intra.net.
intra.net 3600000 IN A 10.50.1.5
