[knot-resolver-users] Setting up to use the OpenNIC root zone

Hoping someone can help... Built Knot Resolver v5.6.0 from source. It works and resolves correctly for "regular" TLDs. However, I would like to point it to OpenNIC for resolution /forwarding so that I can resolve the expanded /alternative TLDs. Default configuration with: policy.add(policy.all( policy.FORWARD( {'2001:19f0:b001:379:5400:3ff:fe68:1cc6', '138.197.140.189', '2600:3c04::f03c:93ff:febd:be27', '45.61.49.203'}))) and it fails to find "grep.geek" using the standard root zone /hints: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 22871 ;; flags: qr rd ra ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;grep.geek. IN A ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: . 86077 IN SOA a.root-servers.net. nstld.verisign-grs.com. 2023050902 1800 900 604800 86400 So I checked the Documentation site and found "hints.root" which theoretically will override any other root hints. Using the OpenNIC root zone file (downloads as "db.root") I set: hints.root ({ ['ns13.opennic.glue.'] = { '2a01:4f8:192:43a5::2', '144.76.103.143' } }) in kresd.conf. Still no joy - "grep.geek" is NXDOMAIN from a.root-servers.net again. Any thoughts? Things I might have missed along the way?
