Apparently FreeBSD only slaves F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET in it's default
configuration for bind:

/* Slaving the following zones from the root name servers has some
significant advantages:
1. Faster local resolution for your users
2. No spurious traffic will be sent from your network to the roots
3. Greater resilience to any potential root server failure/DDoS
On the other hand, this method requires more monitoring than the
hints file to be sure that an unexpected failure mode has not
incapacitated your server. Name servers that are serving a lot
of clients will benefit more from this approach than individual
hosts. Use with caution.
To use this mechanism, uncomment the entries below, and comment
the hint zone above.
