On the other hand, if for some reason you want to run your own private 
root server (which is NOT connected to OpenNic), I could provide my 
script as an example.  This script queries ICANN and OpenNic together to 
generate a merged root zone for our purposes.

If you only wish to have a full copy of the ICANN root zone for your 
use, you can obtain it with the following:

# dig . @b.root-servers.net AXFR
