[dns-operations] Advisory - L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changing to 199.7.83.42 on 2007-11-01

[Mark Andrews]

> Colleagues,
> 
> This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IP
> address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone. The
> change is to L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by ICANN.
> 
> The new IPv4 address for this authority is:
> 
>     199.7.83.42
> 
> This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 1
> November 2007, however the new address is operational now. It will
> replace the previous IP address of 198.32.64.12.
> 
> We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to
> the old IP address, and replace it with the new address. In particular,
> many DNS resolvers have a DNS root "hints" file. This should be updated
> with the new IP address.
> 
> New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change
> has been formally executed:
> 
>     ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/db.cache
>     ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/named.cache
>     ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/named.root
>     ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/db.cache
>     ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache
>     ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root
> 
> It is expected that the old address will continue to work for at least
> six months after the transition, but will ultimately be retired from
> service.
> 
> With kindest regards,
>

	I would have thought this would be on the ICANN web site
	preferably on a signed page.  Otherwise we can all phone
	ICANN so the due diligence can be performed by those that
	wish to act before 1 Nov.

	Also http://www.root-servers.org/ should reflect the forth
	coming change etc.
