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 " $5}' | sort
	a.root-servers.net. A 198.41.0.4
	b.root-servers.net. A 128.9.0.107
	c.root-servers.net. A 192.33.4.12
	d.root-servers.net. A 128.8.10.90
	e.root-servers.net. A 192.203.230.10
	f.root-servers.net. A 192.5.5.241
	g.root-servers.net. A 192.112.36.4
	h.root-servers.net. A 128.63.2.53
	i.root-servers.net. A 192.36.148.17
	j.root-servers.net. A 198.41.0.10
	k.root-servers.net. A 193.0.14.129
	l.root-servers.net. A 198.32.64.12
	m.root-servers.net. A 202.12.27.33
	[michael at varg michael]$

Hope this helps.

``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')
