Because it doesn't need to look anywhere else to resolve requests as it knows how to do this itself.

Because it knows how to ask the ROOT servers where to find the information it is looking for.

You could but it would not help you. resolv.conf is used by programs on that system only not others requesting DNS information.

I can think of one great reason why you should not mess with this server. You don't understand how DNS works or configured. Your best bet is to learn how to configure DNS servers, on another test system, before you mess with this server so you don't bring all connections to a stand still because DNS is not working.

If you look at opendns.com, opendns service allows to block dns queries to sites , like I want to block radio sites, phishing sites, porn and more.
This is management requirement.

The current DNS was built by my pre-decessor, I just want to resolve external sites using the opendns name server 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

I havent worked with bind, that is why I am asking the gurus, after reading I think I need to change the root hints to point to opendns

NAME
Net::DNS::Mailbox - DNS mailbox representation SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS::Mailbox; $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('user@example.com'); $address = $mailbox->address; DESCRIPTION
The Net::DNS::Mailbox module implements a subclass of DNS domain name objects representing the DNS coded form of RFC822 mailbox address. METHODS
new $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John.Doe@example.com'); $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John Doe <j.doe@example.com>'); Creates a mailbox object which represents the DNS domain encoded form of the mail address specified by the character string argument. The argument string consists of printable characters from the 7-bit ASCII repertoire. address $address = $mailbox->address; Returns a character string containing the RFC822 mailbox address corresponding to the encoded domain name representation described in RFC1035 section 8. DOMAIN NAME COMPRESSION AND CANONICALISATION
