How to create a fake root server?

[Peter]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. It's just for a closed internal network with no 
access to the rest of the internet. Making labs such as testing ISP 
functions and services, mail servers etc. Everything is running inside 
an VMware host with an internal closed network.

I have created a closed "Internet" on 172.16.x.x where I would like to 
put up a root server for .loc, where several other ISP-DNS servers, with 
domains, are referred to. I've managed to create those "ISP-DNS" servers 
which works fine. But I'm having trouble to create the root DNS server 
with Bind. I haven't found any useful examples at the web yet.

It's for a school project.

Regards, Peter
