Hello all, This happens because the named cannot find a "root name server" that is a name server for the domain '.'. because the root name server has no root to it or is unavailable. Solution: in the cache file, put a line that points to a near name server that is sure working, so your name server will use it as a root one. that is: . IN NS rootns. rootns. IN A a.b.c.d some I use in my area (Brazil, south): 200.250.250.14 150.162.1.3 200.247.7.3 200.247.32.97 Hope this will help, Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.
