So I had to go in and manually edit the root.hints file myself. I blame you for all that extra work :-)
Yet you appear to have not read the announcement. :-)
Would there be any impact to having the root servers immediatly provide the new IP for the D server so that a dig ns . @a.root-servers.net. > root.hints would yield the new updated file ?
Then people would complain "You didn't give us any warning". This is a HEADSUP of an upcoming change.
I realise that keeping the old IP functional for some time is important for all the static configurations. But does it matter if a dynamic list is updated "real time" without much advance warning ?
3 weeks is not a lot of "advance warning". -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka () isc org
