Well gosh, and there was me thinking that both would work together to make such a change :) And there is http://www.root-servers.org/ suggesting " The root hints file (named.cache, root.ca, root.hints, ...) can be obtained via IANA's page for popular links (http://www.iana.org/popular.htm) " which in turn points to [www|ftp].internic.net ....

ICANN is typically 2-3 days behind the root zone file editor.
Hi, In the case of root zone file edits, IANA does not post completion until we are notified by VeriSign that the change is complete. This typically lags a few days from when the change actually enters the zone file. This is an issue we have raised with VeriSign on several occasions and should be remedied for good in the near future with the deployment of new software to help manage the root zone data. This is completely independent of the fact that a mirror failed because a maximum connection limit was being reached. Thanks, -drc On 2/5/08 6:31 AM, "Stephane Bortzmeyer" <bortzmeyer@nic.fr> wrote:

Hi, There is a nightly cron job on ftp.internic.net that mirrors ftp.rs.internic.net. Said cron job was failing, likely due to the maximum number of connections limit being reached on ftp.rs.internic.net. Folks at VeriSign said they would be temporarily raising said limit. You will note that the the hints file on ftp.internic.net is now correct. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
