Not (at least by that name) in the Redhat/Centos 6.3 bind 9.8.2.

There is no need for a named.root file, and is just another thing to go wrong…

Is there anything needed in the named.conf to actuate this if you do have it?

The Centos 6.3 bind and bind-chroot do not seem to come with a named.root.  
Does have a named.ca, though.

So from my old named.root.hints include (also not provided; where did I get 
this?) I tried:

wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.root

And got a nice looking named.root  last updated 1/3/2013, with nice comments on 
who use to run the various root servers.

Then I tried:

dig . ns @198.41.0.4 > named.root

I see where this addr is the A root server, anyway, the response did not have A 
records for B, E, I, J, or L !!! And of course no AAAA records for I, J, or L.  
It has NS records for A thru M.

What went wrong here?

Which do I use?
