'dig . ns @<nameserver> > /etc/bind/db.root' can give you a new db.root
file for your nameserver. If its wise? Yes and no, your db.root must
contain valid data, but to take a random nameserver, that is not wise.
But than a gain, you can do a joke next month so people have a problem
or you can fix this problem by adding allow-query statements to your
named.conf and forcing people to abuse someone else.
