Establishing an internal root server

[Michael Voight]

You create a root zone like any other zone.
You then become primary (4.x) or master (8.x) for root and do not
specify
a cache zone. If you are primary for root, you do not have a "cache .
<filename>" in named.boot, you have a "primary . <filename>" line.
