Just as most other resolver, these IANA root hints are actually
always used by unbound since they are compiled in. Only when one
wants to use a completely different root there is a need to supply
a separate root hints file.
Hope this helps.</pre>

Thanks Jaap, but I do have a follow-up since no one responded to my
last question about root hints vs forwarders.<br>
<br>
My understanding was that you can use either/or.<br>
<br>
Meaning, if you use root hints, you don't need to use forwarders,
but more importantly, if you use forwarders, then the root hints <u><b>are
not used</b></u>.<br>
<br>
So... is this true? Or can you expound on this?<br>
<br>
Thanks...<br>
