D-root is changing its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January. Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:54:41 -0500 From: Jason Castonguay To: Advisory ? D-root is changing its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January. This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv4 address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and the .ARPA TLD. The change is to D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the University of Maryland. The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13 The current IPv6 address for this authority is 2001:500:2d::d and it will continue to remain unchanged. This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 3 January 2013, however the new address is currently operational. It will replace the previous IP address of 128.8.10.90 (also once known as TERP.UMD.EDU). We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to the old IP address, and replace it with the new address. In particular, many DNS resolvers have a DNS root ?hints? file. This should be updated with the new IP address. New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change has been formally executed: http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache The old address will continue to work for at least six months after the transition, but will ultimately be retired from service.

Traditionally people who wanted to discuss Net::DNS used RT at cpan or directly mailed the maintainer(s). While Net::DNS and Net::DNS::SEC are libraries that are supported by NLnet Labs, they also benefit from significant community contribution and collaboration. Until now, there was no official platform for Net::DNS users to talk to each other and share experiences. About time to set this up; ie. a mailing-list for Net::DNS users. If you use Net::DNS and Net::DNS::SEC and wish to discuss it with other users (and with us), please subscribe to our list on the webpage: https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/mailman/listinfo/net-dns-users or subscribe by sending an email to net-dns-users-request at nlnetlabs.nl with the word `subscribe' in the subject or body.

Following up from the initial report published on RIPE Labs, we further analysed what caused the incident and implemented a number of procedures to decrease the likelihood of this happening in the future. Please see the report on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/dfk/conclusions-drawn-from-reverse-dns-event Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
