D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changed January 3rd 2013

[Chuck Peters]

See http://d.root-servers.org/.  I think bind9, and likely other DNS
servers, should be updated to include the correct IPv4 D root server,
http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root, and filed a bug report,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1090593.  As the issue
stands now, it could be a long time before the LTS releases get the update,
but it should not cause serious DNS problems.

Robie Basak triaged the bug report and said:
I'm reluctant to push for this unless a clear consensus is reached,
somebody points out exactly what we've done in the past, or an experienced
Ubuntu developer tells me otherwise.  I think the best place to seek
consensus on this is the ubuntu-server mailing list. If others agree that
the change is worth it...

How was this handled in the past?

What do you think should be done?


Thanks,
Chuck
