Re: (ngtrans) Re: IPv6 dns

Perry,

regarding the new root servers which respond to queries over IPv6 -
one thing you didn't quite mention, but I suspect is necessary, is 
that their IPv6 addresses be stable. that is, that once root 
servers are established at these addresses and are advertised,
that there will continue to be authoritative root servers at 
those addresses for the forseeable future.

this has implications for the roots; but perhaps also, for their
ISPs and for address assignment in general.  regardless of what
assumptions we make about IPv6 renumbering elsewhere, we don't
want to renumber the root servers very often.
