===== Tier2 Hint File Updater =====
This simple bash script will update your bind hint file if the Tier1 servers have changed. This should be run as a daily cron job.

Usage: updateHints [ dest | /var/named/named.root ] [ reload | true ]

%%(bash)if [ "$1" ]
then
dest=$1
else
dest=/var/named/named.root
fi
dig . NS @root.opennic.glue > /tmp/opennic.raw
if [ "`grep 'status: NOERROR' /tmp/opennic.raw`" ]
then
grep -v "^;" /tmp/opennic.raw | sort > /tmp/opennic.hint
if [ `md5sum /tmp/opennic.hint | awk {'print $1'}` != `md5sum $dest | awk {'print $1'}` ]
then
mv /tmp/opennic.hint $dest
if [ -z "$2" ] or [ "$2" == "true" ]
then
service named reload
fi
fi
else
echo Error updating hint file
cat /tmp/opennic.raw
fi
rm /tmp/opennic.raw%%

====== Other TLD Forwarders ======
Tier2 servers can configure forwarders to support non-OpenNIC TLDs as well. These are high maintenance, in that you need to update the forwarder list manually.

===== .bit =====
Forwarders copied from [[http://dot-bit.org/List_Of_DNS_Servers List of DNS servers]]

194.71.109.237; 2a00:801:9::1337:1;
