Ok, so I'm sure this is a REALLY dumb question, but what has prevented anyone from taking the informatoin from www.root-servers.org and creating a named.boot file with both the A and AAAA records for the root nameservers, and started telling people to install it? Would there be a downside if, say, the Ubuntu and Fedora Linux distributions started shipping a /etc/bind/db.root file that included the AAAA records for the root name servers? Are the IPv6 addresses stable enough they it would be a good thing to get them widely installed in thousands if not millions of machines all over the Internet? Because if they are suitably stable, it wouldn't be that hard to arrange.... - Ted _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
