I'm sorry.
I forget to say that it is a slave server.......it just forwards the
ns-queries
to the main DNS.
I think that's the problem.........huh?

There is no need for this. Although keeping an up to date copy of the
roots hints file is a good thing, a monthly update is overkill. Your
name server only uses that file at start-up to send a query to find
the actual names and addresses of the root servers, that's all. The
root servers haven't changed in years and are unlikely to change for a
long time, probably never. The current file at ftp.rs.internic.net has
a change date from August last year. However the file's contents have
not changed for much longer than that. It has a comment saying the
file was last updated in August 1997!
