An SRU into existing releases makes good sense. The change is very minimal, with the biggest risk being that somepoint after the current operator of D stops using the IP address, said address gets assigned to someone who decides that giving out the wrong answers would be a thing to do. I don't see that as even remotely likely.
As for what the issue actually causes: it slows down lookups a very very small fraction of the time, since BIND does round-trip time tracking on requests, and prefers hosts that answer faster, and rarely queries the root nameservers (most TLDs are 2 day TTLs) in any case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090593 Title: D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changing January 3rd 2013 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1090593/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
