- If you are not connected to the internet, declare yourself a
- primary server for the root domain and put SOA and NS records
- for the root in the zone for the root. I have never tried
- this, but I think the server is returning server failure
- (DOMAIN/LOOKUP will tell you the status if you use /FULL
- on the LOOKUP command) because it cannot contact the
- root servers.
