Without more detail about what you did it's not easy to tell. I'd suspect that your list of root servers is incorrect or out of date.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

You want to put up a publicly accessible DNS server with full recursion of all domain?

Don't do that. It will be discovered and used for malicious purposes.

I personally will not give you any help, because what you are trying to do will create a huge target.

Did you check your root server list yet? I'm not commenting on the security ramifications of what you're doing.

As in the file which tells your server where to look for information about the top level domains. Often specified using syntax like:

Code: Select all

// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "/var/named/data/db.root";
        };

According to the contents of that file, you can fetch the latest version from ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache
