you don't set it up in root.hints, you use named.conf.
in the "options" section (should be near the top of the file), insert
the following lines:
forwarders {
<ip address of your ISP's nameserver>;
<ip address of your ISP's other nameserver>;
};
then stop and restart BIND. this tells BIND to send all queries that
it cannot resolve locally out to the forwarders - it is unlikely that
you should be querying root nameservers directly.
you can add as many additional nameservers as you like; they will be
queried in order.
