unbound and root.hints
Hi list, when using unbound on OpenBSD 6.5 in the default configuration unbound comes with root.hints file. Upgrading to OpenBSD 7.3 I noticed that root.hints is not more supplied but unbound manual page says: "root-hints: read the root hints from this file. Default is nothing, using builtin hints for the IN class. The file has the format of zone files, with root nameserver names and addresses only. The default may become outdated, when servers change, therefore it is good practice to use a root-hints file." Where I can find root-hints file? Thank you in advance.
