You're right. CentOS 6.3 does not have named.root. They just call it named.ca. That's actually the same file thing. You just need to refer to the right file name for hints.

Note below that I did see the named.ca which is from their namecaching setup. And this stub does not have as many AAAA records as the one I ftped, so it is already dated.

Which begs the next question I was going to ask. How often should I download a fresh named.zone? Do I set up a monthly cron job? It is clear that there is movement on populating it with AAAA records.

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?
