---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 03 Nov 2007 08:37:24 +1100 From: Mark Andrews Reply-To: bind-users@isc.org To: bind-announce@isc.org Subject: L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET has changed IP address to 199.7.83.42 If you already have a root hints zone defined in named.conf you need to update the address in the file it loads from. The easiest way to create a new file is to run dig, check the contents of the file it generates then move the file into place. dig ns . @a.root-servers.net > newfile If you don't have any root zone defined they you will be using the built-in hints. In this case you should create a root hints zone if you don't have a root zone already defined and you are using class IN (the default class). dig ns . @a.root-servers.net > root-hints zone "." { type hint; file "root-hints"; }; If you are not using views you do this at the options level. If you are using views you need to define this zone in each view of class IN. BIND 9.3.5, BIND 9.4.2 (9.4.2rc2) and BIND 9.5.0 (9.5.0a7) will have their built-in root hints updated to reflect this change. If you wish to change the built in hints apply the attached patch. In the top level directory run. patch -p1 < l-root-servers.patch make clean make Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: Mark_Andrews@isc.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -netch- =================================================================== uanog mailing list.
