Sorry for the double post the signature was bad on the last one

This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv6
addresses in the Root Zone for the L root-server, also known as
L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the ICANN.

The current IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET service are:

* 199.7.83.42
* 2001:500:3::42

As of March 23, 2016, the new IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
service will be:

* 199.7.83.42
* 2001:500:9f::42

The change will be implemented on the root zone on March 23, 2016
however the new address is already operational.

We encourage DNS infrastructure operators to update their DNS resolvers
root "hints” file.

New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change
has been formally executed on March 23, 2016:

* http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root
* http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache
