Because you aren't supposed to be using that file anymore ;)

Just name your root.hints to db.cache, the db.cache file is in the
standard zone format, except it has no SOA header because you aren't
authorative for the root servers....you can download this file btw

FTP.RS.INTERNIC.NET  , the file may be named named.root l)

The file will have lines in it like:

.                        3600000      NS    I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.      3600000      A     192.36.148.17

etc etc....
