Also I see that bind 9.9.0 uses built-in root hints if those are not explicitly configured.
That has been true since BIND 9.2.
If the root hints are updated on ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/, would it require a new build of bind to incorporate them, or is bind able to update its built-in root hints by some other means?
No, it requires a rebuild after changing lib/dns/rootns.c. But using a mildly out-of-date hints file is usually harmless - it is only a *hint*. [Having said that, I admit I specify an explicit root hints file and keep it up to date in most of my own nameserver configurations.] -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
