No root nameservers for class IN

[Mark_Andrews at isc.org]

	This is a know bug with root servers and is fixed in 8.2.2.

 715.   [clarity]       root servers don't need to be primed.

	It generates the noted messages but does not effect operations
	otherwise.  NOTE this comment *only* applies to root servers.
	On other servers this message indicates a critical problem.
