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

today i started getting this:

> [yeti-dns.tisf:amd64] dig @f.root-servers.net . axfr > ~/foo
> dig: Cannot represent 'ns1.xn--cg4bki.centralnic-dns.com.' in the current locale (string encoding error), use +noidnout or a different locale

so i had to change the script to do this:

> [yeti-dns.tisf:amd64] dig @f.root-servers.net +noidnout . axfr > ~/foo
> [yeti-dns.tisf:amd64]

just words to the wise.
