All,
Just a note to anyone running bind-9 for name resolution, the old configs
containing root.hints now results in named failing to start with:
Dec 06 14:53:02 phoinix named[455]: could not configure root hints from
'root.hint': file not found
Dec 06 14:53:02 phoinix named[455]: loading configuration: file not found
Dec 06 14:53:02 phoinix named[455]: exiting (due to fatal error)
The solution is just to comment out the old dummy zone relying on root.hints
(I'm sure I recall a note about this some time about, but now it is official).
Quickfix:
// zone "." IN {
// type hint;
// file "root.hint";
// };
