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.
