The root servers don't change very often and resolvers typically have the current set included as part of the package. I think in bind they are called hints. Resolvers work by starting at the root servers and working their way down (most of the time the tld server address will be cached and your server won't be bugging the root servers very often) to the name server that has the records you want. There are some tricky things the resolver needs to worry about if the intermediate name servers are out of bailiwick (since you shouldn't trust the glue records in that case). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
