Slaving root zone?

[Terrence Koeman]

Exactly, I need to slave the root for the ORSC namespace. And as far as I
know the root is just a zone, just like any other.

The ending comment is my bad, I stripped some comments from the named.conf
before including it in the e-mail and forgot that one.

named.run says that there will be maintenance for the zone '.', and says
that there is correcly detected that there is a newer version available, but
the zone is never retrieved and written.

Regards,

Terrence Koeman

That's just not 100% correct ROOT-SERVERS do slave the "." (root) zone.
And that is just what he is trying to do!
