Add systemd timer to update root.hints file #332

Closed bastelfreak closed 9 months ago

By default we download a root.hints file once. That's bad. it contains IP-addresses for all root DNS servers. Those addresses can change from time to time. We should update the file every now and then.

I don't run DNS anymore, but when I did, on Debian I'd just use /usr/share/dns/root.hints that is installed by the dns-root-data package.

Also a nice idea, but that seems to be very Debian specific. Unbound also has hints compiled into it that can be used.
