If the goal is increased robustness by having addresses present from a different RIR, wouldn't it make this whole tempest in a teapot moot if, instead of *reunubering*, you simply *added* a second set of IPs, but continued to answer queries on the original addresses as well?
Hi Matt, That is exactly what we've done. We are currently answering requests on the new LACNIC addresses, the current ARIN address which we renumbered to in 2017, and even the addresses from before that (cerca 2004). The commitment to maintain service for 1 year after the new LACNIC addresses are switched in to the root.hints from IANA does not mean that this is a cutoff date and that we intend to turn off service on the older addresses after a year. We currently have no plans to do so for the foreseeable future. In fact, the possibility has not even been suggested or discussed at all. In short: Keep calm, and query on. :-) Regards, -- Robert Story USC Information Sciences Institute <http://www.isi.edu/> Networking and Cybersecurity Division
