Hello,
Today something weird happened to my Bind9 install.
Nothing gets resolved outside, while all local domains are resolved.
At a closer look, db.root file from /etc/bind is empty.
I had to add the ISP nameservers to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail for any external domain to be resolved.
Any clue how can db.root be emptied without someone actually deleting the content?
Howdy,
I hadn’t heard of that happening before, I’m not sure what might have caused that.
It’s working properly now though after the changes you made?

After adding forwarders, it is working.
I have downloaded the latest named.root and now everything works again without forwarders or ISP DNS.
confirming that
/etc/named.root.key has to be renamed to db.root for external hosts to work again.
the file can be edited using Webmin File Manager -> Webmin/others/File Manager
Bind 9.9.4
Centos 7
Virtualmin + Webmin latest version
