Hi Ale,

You need to define a zone entry like this:

zone "." in {
type hint;
file "root.servers";
};

Where the file name should be replaced by your root hints file name (if
it is not root.servers).

You may find that's already present, afraid I've never actually used
BIND on Windows.

There's not a lot more you need to adjust unless you have extra
requirements.
