Dave, you might need to update the 'root/servers/@' file. IIRC, a couple of
root servers have changed in the past few years.
We replace the @ file with one of our own on every server. I contains just
our dns servers and our own caches.
Silly question, and veering off topic, but if you take away
the list of root servers, how do your nameservers find things?
If you want to find a node in a tree (or in a directed acyclic
graph) it helps to start at the root (or roots). If your
local DNS server doesn't have any way of finding the root,
how can it find the nodes it needs to find?
I suppose it's possible your organization's DNS servers and
caches are giving authoritative responses for the "." domain.
Is that what you're saying?
