Description Stefano 2007-11-03 10:23:08 UTC

The "L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET" root name server changed its IP address. All packages that contain an hardcoded list of root servers, or a conf file with the list, should be correspondingly updated according to: ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root

Or if you wish, you can cross-check by doing: 
dig @A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . ns > root.hint

It's not urgent, as it won't harm functionality.

Reproducible: Always

- I have no clue which packages "contain an hardcoded list of root servers, or a conf file with the list"

- It you know which packages are affected, then bug upstream about this, not Gentoo.

Thanks.
