Fair enough, the root server listed in the fake list would also need to load
the zone, for example:
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "root.hint";
};
zone "." in {
type master;
file "root.zone";
}
The hint file has a format that simply lists the Address and PTR records, as
observed from a simple "dig | grep -v '^;'", for example:
. 518400 IN NS our.fake.root.
our.fake.root. 3600000 IN A 192.168.0.1
The actual master zone must have the SOA, NS records, glue and the wildcard.
Hope that helps.
