Local root server? As in an internal root, disconnected from the
external "real" root servers?

I'm confused. Are you trying to list your own internal root
server as just *one* of the servers in the root hints file? If so,
then don't do that -- it's all or nothing. Either you list all the
external "real" root servers in that file, or you list only your
internal root servers, but you can't mix and match.
