dom=H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.63.2.53

If you would rather a different name server for the root,
use this instead

dom=
	ns=ns1.infinet.com
	ns=ns2.infinet.com

dom=ns1.infinet.com ip=206.103.240.1
dom=ns2.infinet.com ip=206.103.240.2

If you'ld still like to point to the real root servers but
point to infinet.com's server for infinet domain names:

dom=
	ns=A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
dom=A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=198.41.0.4
dom=B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.9.0.107
dom=C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.33.4.12
dom=D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.8.10.90
dom=E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.203.230.10
dom=F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.5.5.241 ip=39.13.229.241
dom=G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.112.36.4
dom=H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.63.2.53
dom=I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.36.148.17

dom=infinet.com
	ns=ns1.infinet.com
	ns=ns2.infinet.com

dom=ns1.infinet.com ip=206.103.240.1
dom=ns2.infinet.com ip=206.103.240.2

Pointers to domain name servers are of the form:

dom=yyy.zzz
	ns=xxx1
	ns=xxx2
	ns=xxx3

This means that for any name in the name hierarchy that is
at or below yyy.zzz, use the name servers xxx1, xxx2, and xxx3
unless a more specific match is found.

Of course, this is just seeding a cache.  If more authoritative
info comes back from a dns name server, it will be used instead.

If you want to be the name server for a domain, then add
a soa= in the tuple.  For example, we implement the bell-labs.com
domain and /lib/ndb/local has the following:

#
#  external internet domain service
#
dom=
	ns=A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
	ns=I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
dom=A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=198.41.0.4
dom=B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.9.0.107
dom=C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.33.4.12
dom=D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.8.10.90
dom=E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.203.230.10
dom=F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.5.5.241 ip=39.13.229.241
dom=G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.112.36.4
dom=H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=128.63.2.53
dom=I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ip=192.36.148.17
