Bug Description
Binary package hint: bind9
Hello,
One of the DNS root servers address has changed. Here is the original announcement:
http://
This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IP
address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone. The
change is to L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by ICANN.
The new IPv4 address for this authority is:
199.7.83.42
This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 1
November 2007, however the new address is operational now. It will
replace the previous IP address of 198.32.64.12.
We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to
the old IP address, and replace it with the new address. In particular,
many DNS resolvers have a DNS root "hints" file. This should be updated
with the new IP address.
...
It is expected that the old address will continue to work for at least
six months after the transition, but will ultimately be retired from
service.
-------
This could be solved by updating the db.root file I guess:
-L.ROOT-
+L.ROOT-
