Non-Internet "named.ca" file root hint.

[Peter Dambier]

Hi,

just change your named.conf:

# zone "." in {
#   type hint;
#   file "/etc/root.hint";
# };

zone "." in {
   type slave;
   file "/DNSOP/cesidian-root.zone";
   masters { 212.97.45.53; };
};


or

zone "." in {
   type master;
   file "/DNSOP/cesidian-root.zone";
};


you can even slave "f.root-servers.net" b and c should also allow slaving.
Now you have a root.zone to work from.

Unbelievable "." is not different from all the other zones.

I have even seen sombody putting MX records in the root but no, that
is no good idea and stay away from CNAME records too.

Cheers
Peter and Karin
