A “root server” was a pre-cloud term for a rented server you had root on vs a mortal user account. The latter was typically for hosting a canned LAMP. Basically your own VM or physical instead of a user on a shared machine or a limited-use VM. There’s a bunch of these comments. What would a disposable root DNS server mean? Stand up a DNS server and just claim authority for .? You could do that here fine I imagine. You have root. Until you log out, of course. If you can install stuff and listen on 53, you could make your own private DNS tree anywhere. Now, managing delegations will get weird if you want to delegate outside of what you manage. I’m seeing a spiderweb of stub zones.
