> Advisory — D-root is changing its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January.
> 
> 
> This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv4
> address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and
> the .ARPA TLD. The change is to D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is
> administered by the University of Maryland.
> 
> The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13
> 
> The current IPv6 address for this authority is  2001:500:2d::d and it
> will continue to remain unchanged.
> 
> This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 3
> January 2013, however the new address is currently operational. It
> will replace the previous IP address of 128.8.10.90 (also once known
> as TERP.UMD.EDU).
> 
> 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:
> 
> http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root
> 
> http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache
> 
> The old address will continue to work for at least six months after
> the transition, but will ultimately be retired from service.
