//
//   The 'named.root' root cache hints zone for the bind DNS 'named' nameserver.
//
//   named's cache must be primed with the addresses of the root zone '.' nameservers. 
//   The root zone file can be obtained by querying the root 'A' nameserver:
//     $ dig . ns @198.41.0.4 > named.root
//   Or by download via FTP / HTTP:
//     $ wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.root 
//   
//   Every view that is to provide recursive service must include this zone.
