Internal root name server

If you wanted to make this server a internal root it would look like this:
zone "." in {
type master;
file "db.root";
};
This will make the errors go away but will also break your forwarding as a
root server thinks that it has the most accurate answer. (Lots of discussion
on this in recent archives.)
If you get the error message in the log whenever u lookup a non-cached
address, it would indicate that the name server is trying to resolve the
address itself first (and won't coz it can't find a root server) and then
forwarding the request on to your public NS. I beleive use of the "forward
first" directive will eliminate this ...
Cheers
