Bug Description
According to http://
"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.

< 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 official new zone file can be found at ftp://ftp. internic. net/domain/ named.root and the diff to the current version is as follows.

> D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 AAAA 2001:500:2D::D
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.
