1. Can BIND 9 utilize a HINTS file to create fake ROOT DNS server

Working on a project to create a FAKE root server utilizing BIND 9.  

I have created a HINTS file which instead of having the master ROOT
domain servers listed, it has several TOP level .COM, and .ORG domains
listed.  These are actually INTERNAL .com and .org domains.

I have also set resolver to forward to outbound firewall DNS process
for name resolution.

Problem:   Seems like the HINTS file is overlooked during boot.  It
doesnt error out, but it also doesnt query the authoritative Internal
DNS servers for these private .COM and .ORG domains.

Question:    Any hints in using hints?   Does the use of a forward
statement spoil the utilization of HINTS files during startup?  I.e.
They are mutually exclusive?
