The Centos 6.3 bind and bind-chroot do not seem to come with a 
named.root.  Does have a named.ca, though.
So from my old named.root.hints include (also not provided; where did I 
get this?) I tried:
wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.root
And got a nice looking named.root  last updated 1/3/2013, with nice 
comments on who use to run the various root servers.
Then I tried:
dig . ns @198.41.0.4 > named.root
I see where this addr is the A root server, anyway, the response did not 
have A records for B, E, I, J, or L !!! And of course no AAAA records 
for I, J, or L.  It has NS records for A thru M.
What went wrong here?
Which do I use?
