[net-dns-users] AXFR of root zone

[Ronald F. Guilmette]

I need to be able to do an AXFR on the root zone.

I tried this and got nothing:

========================================================================
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use Net::DNS;

my $resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;

my @root_zone = $resolver->axfr ('.');

foreach my $rr (@root_zone) {
  $rr->print;
}
========================================================================

OK, so how may I AXFR the root zone?

There must be some trick I am missing.
