If you want a fixed set of master servers for a zone, use static-stub.
A stub zone works a bit like the root hints: it will update its idea of
where the authoritative servers are based on responses from the network.

See RFC 2181 section 5.4.1 on trustworthiness ranking of DNS data.
BIND needs to cache referrals in order to be able to find the servers for
follow-up queries (including when it is completing the current query!).
It doesn't pro-actively check the authoritative servers to get more
trustworthy versions of the referral records.

Biscay: East backing north 3 or 4. Moderate. Fair. Good.
