[Pkg-dns-devel] Bug#888491: bind9: Provide up to date db.root in stable Debian release

[Witold Baryluk]

Source: bind9
Version: 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u4
Severity: normal


I noticed that db.root is rather old from February 17, 2016;

but newest version on internic is from November 16, 2017.

Notable changes between them:

IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changed.

IPv6 address added for E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.

IPv6 address added for G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.

IPv6 address changed for L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.


>From my measurements (Zurich, Switzerland), all old addresses are still
working, but new addresses are a bit faster in all cases. (by 10-20 ms
compared to old addresses).


Thanks,
Witold
