## 4. `/var/named/root.cache`

If your DNS is deferring request to another DNS, the file `/var/named/root.cache` is not needed!

This file provide the bootstrap knowledge required to resolve name in other domain. Without this file, your DNS will simply think that nothing else exist except the domains it serves. It won't look further.

This is why Linuxconf always try to add it to your DNS configuration!
