No root nameservers for class IN (but I really don't want any in there)

[Jan Vicherek]

 Hi,

 in my named.conf I have :
=================================
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        pid-file "/var/run/named.CABLE.pid";
        allow-transfer { none; };
        listen-on { 10.20.30.40; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};
=================================


  I'm getting "No root nameservers for class IN" unless I put into
named.conf also :
=================================
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};
=================================

  I don't want this named to contact root servers. I want it to provide
and resolve the abc.com without knowing nor contacting any root servers.
This host doesn't even have access to the Net, so even once I put the "."
zone in there, I still get :
sysquery: sendto([198.41.0.10].53): Network is unreachable

 how do I get the named to resolve the abc.com without having to put the
named.ca into the config file ?


  Thanx,

       Jan


PS : do I also have to have in the config file 
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};
 ? or is there a way around it ?
