Hi guys,

I guess a few of you have seen and mitigated this before. We're running a few BIND server strictly internally - for master zone loading, actually.

Those servers have no external connectivity. Since they seem to routinely look up stuff concerning ".", I get a lot of the above error messages due
to - certainly - unreachability of anything outside local.

Is there any way I can get those BIND9 servers to *not* look up root stuff?

Recursion is off, and the root hints file has been removed from the local
zone config. No effect.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Seriously, some ways to redirect root are:
- root.cache file naming your internal root servers, if any, and a hint root zone
  - master root zone that is empty [except for SOA and NS]
  - forward external lookups to external name servers

Or compile it excluding the built-in root hints file.

As far as the DNSKEY, is it possible that you have root's key still in your configuration, and that's why it's trying to look it up?
