Running Bind 9.18.18 on Ubuntu 22.04

We would like to use root servers within our organization rather than the 
actual root servers.
I updated the hints file with the names and IPs of our servers, but we seem to 
still access the official root servers.

Wondering how I ignore the internal/build-in hints and have my own file.

Wondering if replacing the IP addresses in the db.cache file with a round-robin 
of my internal IP addresses isn't the answer.
Not elegant but perhaps would work?

Is there a supported way to do what I want to do - we do not want an forwarding 
only server, we do serve a good number of internal statis and dynamic zones but 
also want to resolve non-domain addresses or addresses we lack forwarder zones 
for from a 'root' source.

Thanks for your help and suggestions,
