From a root operator, surely thats not right either (I hope!)? You don't want to override the NS records. You want to augment the address records. You can do it on a per host basis (which is what I do at home) or you can do it by augmenting the contents of root-servers.net. You will note that I have choosen not to leak the addresses to anyone other than myself. zone "b.root-servers.net" { type master; file "master/b.root-servers.net"; notify no; allow-query { localhost; }; }; zone "f.root-servers.net" { type master; file "master/f.root-servers.net"; notify no; allow-query { localhost; }; }; zone "h.root-servers.net" { type master; file "master/h.root-servers.net"; notify no; allow-query { localhost; }; }; zone "k.root-servers.net" { type master; file "master/k.root-servers.net"; notify no; allow-query { localhost; }; }; zone "m.root-servers.net" { type master; file "master/m.root-servers.net"; notify no; allow-query { localhost; }; }; or zone "root-servers.net" { type master; file "master/root-servers.net"; notify no; allow-query { localhost; }; } >> In the few couple of years I've only seen two outages with the >> IPv6 root instances.

I'm using the IPv6 addresses published by the root server operators on http://www.root-servers.org/. They are the addresses that will be added to root-servers.net zone once there is agreement to add them. > Where are they hiding and why arent they being provided in > the hints file or NS queries on . ? They arn't hiding. They were published years ago. It's just a long process to get them added to the root-servers.net zone. I added them to my config on Feb 18 2005 and they had been published for a long time when I did that. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 160 Feb 18 2005 /var/named/master/b.root-servers.net -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 156 Feb 18 2005 /var/named/master/f.root-servers.net -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 162 Feb 18 2005 /var/named/master/h.root-servers.net -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 154 Feb 18 2005 /var/named/master/k.root-servers.net -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 155 Feb 18 2005 /var/named/master/m.root-servers.net Mark >Steve > >> >> B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN A 192.228.79.201 >> B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:478:65::53 >> F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN A 192.5.5.241 >> F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:500::1035 >> H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN A 128.63.2.53 >> H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:500:1::803f:235 >> K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN A 193.0.14.129 >> K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:7fd::1 >> M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN A 202.12.27.33 >> M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:dc3::35 >> >> >Note also that various ccTLD's are able to add glue to your zone on >> >request (notably .fr/.ch/.nl/.se do so already for quite some time) >> > >> >Greets, >> > Jeroen |
