Updating named.ca or named.cache for hints

If you, like me, picked up a copy of named.ca[che] from
FTP.RS.INTERNIC.NET, you might now find that named complains.
The easy way to fix this is to use dig to replace the contents
of your old file with up-to-date data.

The incantation is:
	dig . ns >/<path_to_named_files>/named.ca
or whatever.

I discovered this when named started complaining with the following
messages at 16h38 today:

May 20 17:33:33 myhost.home.com named[9462]: check_hints: root NS list
in hints for class 1 does not match root NS list
May 20 17:33:33 myhost.home.com named[9462]: check_hints: no A records
for J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 in hints
May 20 17:33:33 myhost.home.com named[9462]: check_hints: no A records
for K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 in hints
May 20 17:33:33 myhost.home.com named[9462]: check_hints: no A records
for L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 in hints
May 20 17:33:33 myhost.home.com named[9462]: check_hints: no A records
for M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 in hints
May 20 17:33:33 myhost.home.com named[9462]: check_hints: A records for
F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 do not match hint records

Hope this helps.
