Abstract:
Some DNS recursive resolvers have longer-than-desired round trip
times to the closest DNS root server. Such resolvers can greatly
decrease the round trip time by running a copy of the full root zone
on a loopback address (such as 127.0.0.1). Typically, the vast
majority of queries going to the root are for names that do not exist
in the root zone, and the negative answers are cached for a much
shorter period of time. 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.
