[dns-operations] a note on fetching the root zone using "dig"

[Ondřej Surý]

Thanks Patrik,

tracked as https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/issues/657

~~~

If there’s a further discussion on implementation details in BIND 9
(and not on general level, f.e. Patrik’s note applies to all DNS vendors,
so I think it’s great to have it here), I would suggest to move to
the BIND 9 GitLab.

Thanks,
