The root zone we ship is a hint used to bootstrap named. Without it,
named is a brick, unless all you want is an authoritative-only
nameserver. All named does with that hint file is use it to locate a
root server from which it can obtain a fresh copy of the root zone.
Feel free to replace it with a fresh copy from InterNIC. Since the root
zone is signed, you could even set up a cron job to do automatically
update the hint file at regular intervals.
