Hi Gary,

yes, all of the above. But this is no mistake, it's the intended architecture. 

My DNS-server is an internal one without any conection to the internet. There is no root hint file because I have a internal root zone on my own. And my root servers have the glue records in this root zone and the NS records for the TLDs as well. 

So dig +trace should work. Or has the trace-option the IP-addresses of the Internet-root-servers hardwired in the the sourcecode?
