RE: [Declude.JunkMail] new root server B address
Hi, Obviously, there is no harm in updating the root hints - but the effect is probably next to nil. If you turn on the advanced display, you'll be able to see the cache for . and for net | root-servers | b and you'll see that the address is current. You can also use NSLOOKUP to query for b.root-servers.net. and confirm that the correct IP address is being used. The hint is only needed when the service is started. As long as any of the hints are valid, the name server will be able to obtain the CURRENT list of root servers and use that during operation. The only effect of the 'bad' b server is, that one in 13 service starts, it will take a second DNS lookup before the root servers are known.

Davebe, Wow, you read my mind. I saw this as well this week on my Linux dns box. Thanks for the update.
