Listing the real root servers doesn't buy you anything but trouble if your not connected. Take out the real roots and put in pointers to your own name servers. According to DNS & BIND you should set up your own internal root server which is only slightly more work, but I did it via db.cache when I was UUCP connected and it seemed to work fine. However, that was several years and revisions of named ago so the cache trick may no longer work. Worst case, make yourself primary for . and add a db.root that looks a whole lot like db.water (see Internal Roots in DNS & BIND for details).
