You might want to fetch ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root and update your root.hint file yourself.

I have used a script for years to update the root servers, that I call nsrootup, and have put in /etc/cron.monthly to make sure my root servers are current. I believe I got this off the internet when setting up my DNS server with 6.4.

In this script:

dig @e.root-servers.net . ns >root.hint.new 2>&1

Be careful. You won't get all root server records this way. AFAIR, the number of records returned by one query is restricted. Better to substitute that statement with wget ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root Cheers, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
