BIND9 also uses the root hint when it finds necessary glue is missing. For example, consider the following delegation: child.foo.example. NS 86400 ns.child.foo.example. ns.child.foo.example. A 3600 192.0.2.1 When the (recursive) resolver first visits the child.foo.example zone, it caches both the NS and A records. The glue (A) record will expire in 1 hour. When the resolver tries to visit the zone after that while still keeping the NS record, it tries to fetch the missing glue from the root using the hint file, regardless of whether it has the root NS and the root server addresses in its cache. This would be another reason for the queries to the old L-root address, though I don't think it makes the 40% of total traffic unless the vast majority of hint files aren't updated.
