if you do not include a hints file in nsd's database, it will return SERVFAIL.
Actually (having burnt my fingers on this one), you really do not want to configure any zones into nsd (including '.') unless you are authoritative for those zones. Since nsd is (by design) an authoritative-only nameserver, any zones configured will be answered authoritatively.
In which case, it is impossible to configure nsd to "do the right thing", even if this feature wasn't turned on by default. If you don't configure the root zone, then you get SERVFAIL instead. If you do, then you get bogus information. We need a third way, one that gives us the right answer. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
