dig @192.5.6.30 . ns > root.hints
192.5.6.30 is the IP address for a.root-servers.net. In case you
prefer using another root server, they are:
[michael at varg michael]$ dig @a.root-servers.net | grep 3600000 | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | awk '{print $1 " A " $5}' | sort
a.root-servers.net. A 198.41.0.4
b.root-servers.net. A 128.9.0.107
c.root-servers.net. A 192.33.4.12
d.root-servers.net. A 128.8.10.90
e.root-servers.net. A 192.203.230.10
f.root-servers.net. A 192.5.5.241
g.root-servers.net. A 192.112.36.4
h.root-servers.net. A 128.63.2.53
i.root-servers.net. A 192.36.148.17
j.root-servers.net. A 198.41.0.10
k.root-servers.net. A 193.0.14.129
l.root-servers.net. A 198.32.64.12
m.root-servers.net. A 202.12.27.33

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
