Title : Decreasing Access Time to Root Servers by Running One on Loopback Authors : Warren Kumari Paul Hoffman Filename : draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback-00.txt Pages : 5 Date : 2014-10-25 Abstract: Some DNS recursive resolvers have longer-than-desired round trip times to the closest DNS root server. Such resolvers can greatly decrease the rount trip time by running a copy of the full root zone on a loopback address (such as 127.0.0.1). This document shows how to start and maintain such a copy of the root zone in a manner that is secure for the operator of the recursive resolver and does not pose a threat to other users of the DNS.
