Hi

I'm curious as to how a fedora DNS server functions on a basic level.
As far as I am aware when a DNS server queries a domain name and it
doesn't have it in its cache then it will begin a query from the root
name servers and then go down the DNS tree until it gets to its final
result. My question is then where in fedora is this list of root
nameservers?

Thanks
Dan

There should be a "named.ca" file that contains the hints cache for the
root name servers.



and if it doesnt exist create a new one.

dig +bufsize=1200 +norec NS . @a.root-servers.net > named.ca

(This includes IPV6 you will need the bufsize for EDNS reasons, the normal buffer is too small)
