These changes have happened before (other root servers have renumbered). I have never heard of an operational problem caused by such an exercise, and I guarantee there are resolvers running happily today with hints files that are *ancient*. Joe
i had one, back last century, when B renumbered. the old address of B was the last working address in the bootstrap file from 1986. :) i'm fairly confident that 99.9999% of all the existant bootstrap files on the Internet today contain at least 9 working IP addresses for root nameservers. That said, its -very- important to ensure (at each ISP, worldwide) that you have reachability to the new prefix. (wrt notification, I'm persuaded its valid and that the notice will be sent to many more groups as the hours/days progress ... remember, its not a flash change) /bill
