RE: Root zone change -- d.gtld-servers.net

What part of 'TLD' don't you understand?

He's talking about a change to the root zone of the entire DNS for the three
most widely-used TLDs.  That's information any responsible operator would
like to be apprised of in advance of the referenced change.

        Effective zone serial number 2000091901, f.root-servers.net
(192.5.5.241)
        will no longer be in the list as authoritative for com, net, org.
In its
        place d.gtld-servers.net (208.206.240.5) will be added as an
authoritative server
        for com, net, org.  

        The new set of servers authoritative for these TLDs will be:
        A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.     198.41.0.4
        G.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     198.41.3.101
        E.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     207.200.81.69
        F.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     198.17.208.67
        D.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     208.206.240.5
        J.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     198.41.0.21
        K.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     195.8.99.11
        A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     198.41.3.38
        M.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     210.176.152.18
        C.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     205.188.185.18
        I.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     192.36.144.133
        B.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.     203.181.106.5
