Change to root-zone

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Folks,

There has been a fair bit of discussion about the DNS of late; hence
I've forwarded this about a forthcoming change to the root zone:

    This is an important Informational Message to the internet community:

    November 5, 2002, the IP address for J.root-servers.net will change in
    the authoritative NS set for "dot". The change will be reflected in zone
    serial # 2002110501. 

    The new set of servers authoritative for "dot" will be: 
    A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 198.41.0.4 
    H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 128.63.2.53 
    C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 192.33.4.12 
    G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 192.112.36.4 
    F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 192.5.5.241 
    B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 128.9.0.107 
    J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 192.58.128.30 
    K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 193.0.14.129 
    L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 198.32.64.12 
    M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 202.12.27.33 
    I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 192.36.148.17 
    E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 192.203.230.10 
    D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 5w6d16h IN A 128.8.10.90 

    This WILL require a change to your root hints file. The new file will be
    available via anonymous ftp from rs.internic.net:/domain/named.root as
    well as ftp.internic.net:/doamin/named.root starting 11/5/02 1700UTC
    (12pm EST/9am PST). 

    Both the new and old j.root-servers.net IP space will provide answers in
    parallel for the foreseeable future.
