If I run dig without any options it outputs a list of root servers:

;; ANSWER SECTION:

.                       482765  IN      NS      B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
.                       482765  IN      NS      A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
.                       482765  IN      NS      C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
.                       482765  IN      NS      D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.

Where does that information come from? Have the IPs of the root servers 
ever had to change?
