[arch-general] Note: Latest bind-9 update removes root.hints - fails to start with old configs

All, Just a note to anyone running bind-9 for name resolution, the old configs containing root.hints now results in named failing to start with: Dec 06 14:53:02 phoinix named[455]: could not configure root hints from 'root.hint': file not found Dec 06 14:53:02 phoinix named[455]: loading configuration: file not found Dec 06 14:53:02 phoinix named[455]: exiting (due to fatal error) The solution is just to comment out the old dummy zone relying on root.hints (I'm sure I recall a note about this some time about, but now it is official). Quickfix: // zone "." IN { // type hint; // file "root.hint"; // }; -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
