BIND not updating the root servers

[Bill Christensen]

Hi all,

I recently noticed that the MacPorts version of BIND (I'm running the 
latest - BIND 9.10.0-P2) is apparently not updating the root servers.

Looking at the logs to correct another problem, I'm seeing:

14-Aug-2014 13:14:08.142 info: host unreachable resolving 'd.gtld-servers.net/AAAA/IN': 2001:503:ba3e::2:30#53

The root servers file that I've apparently been running off of hasn't 
changed since 2008:


;       This file is made available by InterNIC
;       under anonymous FTP as
;           file                /domain/named.root
;           on server FTP.INTERNIC.NET
;       -OR-                    RS.INTERNIC.NET
;
;       last update:    Feb 04, 2008
;       related version of root zone:   2008020400


The current version, available at:

ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root

was last updated on June 2, 2014.

How (and where) do I insert that?  I pulled the above file via WebMin 
config backup, but it doesn't tell me where that root file lives.
