Last week, ICANN setup a new IP address for one of the thirteen "root
name servers" that oversee DNS queries across the net, and it plans
on
retiring the old address as soon as the late spring.

It was posted to DNS-Operations. Which is where, uh, DNS Operations
are discussed....
It was pointed out to me that the sarcasm in this post is not clear.
I was not disagreeing, it should have been posted to NANOG (as well as
other places). I simply didn't notice it 'cause I saw it elsewhere.
Mostly I wanted to give out the info below, which somehow escaped my
personal knowledgebase until a very nice person from VeriSign
explained it to me at RIPE a couple weeks ago.

Plus, as long as one of the IP addresses in your hints file is good,
it doesn't really matter after launch. The SOA from one of the
roots will override the hints file.
