I've given 3 weeks + 6 months (at least) notice on a service change that will not be noticed by most anyone. Upon hearing your announcement, I went and dig myself a new root.hints file from one of the root servers. the "D" root is still pointing to the old address. So I had to go in and manually edit the root.hints file myself. I blame you for all that extra work :-)
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 ?
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 ?
Hi Jean-Francois, On the 3rd you should be able to dig and see the new entry, like the dynamic list you have mentioned. Thanks, -- Jason
