Bug Description

According to http://www.root-servers.org/ and http://d.root-servers.org/renumber.html the D.Root server has changed its ipv4. I quote the message below

"D-Root is Changing its IPv4 Address on 3 January 2013
This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv4 address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and the .ARPA TLD. The change is to D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the University of Maryland.

The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13"

the /etc/bind/db.root file in bind needs to be changed to reflect this.

34c34
< D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 128.8.10.90
---
> D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 199.7.91.13

The notice also states that the old ip will only be available for at least 6 months so this change should probably be applied before then.

The notice says the ipv6 address is staying the same so apparently it was supposed to be in bind all along but for some reason, never was.
