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.
Are you saying that it will hand out a referral if this information is configured into the database?
nsd will return authoritative NXDOMAIN with authority of '.' on unknown queries if '.' is configured. This is probably not what is wanted in most cases. Regards, -- Bruce Campbell RIPE Systems/Network Engineer NCC www.ripe.net - PGP562C8B1B Operations/Security
