[dns-operations] issues about L and H root-servers missing hints

Hi Eduardo,

h.root-servers.net and l.root-servers.net were both renumbered in the
recent past. When BIND starts up, it does a priming query against one of
the root servers, to find an up-to-date list of root name server
addresses, and logs this message when it finds differences. They are not
fatal.

If these messages bother you, then you should update your copy of the
root.hints file.
