Root Zone Changed
An anonymous reader writes "The day before yesterday the root zone was silently changed for the first time in 5 years. The change was to J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET that is now managed by Verisign. The usual sites don't breathe a word about this change however as one would expect for such a change to be properly announced. An interesing sidenote is this thread on the IETF discussion list." the_proton writes "The server j.root-servers.net has changed IP address to 192.58.128.30.

The new zone serial number is 2002110501."
the internet. Don't every one go J.ROOT-NET.NET now.
Whenever I go near a "root zone" I end up getting pepper sprayed and charged with sexual assault.
Trolling is a art,
that we are going to need Microsoft passport to make changes to DNS now?

Ok. I got that. Next.
"The day before yesterday the root zone was silently changed for the first time in 5 years.
That's english at least. Something changed. Hopefully the rest will tell me what.
The change was to J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET that is now managed by Verisign.
Verisign's evil, right?

Conspiracies are bad, right?

I don't know, I clicked on the link 100 times and it worked ok for me.
If there's no conspiracy, why are we all crouching around a table in a smoke filled room going over printed transcripts of your VoIP conversations for the past week, huh, smart guy?
Just because we at Verisign have no sinister motives in moving a god damned computer does NOT mean that we're not involved in any conspiracies!
As another example, our co-conspirators at the NSA just closed a loophole that let members of their alien autopsy division take extra paid sickdays even if they've never been exposed to any alien tissue (and thus, to the space virus). This was a totally inoccuous cost cutting measure, and not part of their conspiracy to conceal the existence the aliens. Does this mean the conspiracy doesn't exist? Absolutely not!
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
That would make surfing for your pr0n a thing of near impossibility. :)

2. This will be seemless to properly configured DNS.
3. This was to move the server to a different subnet from it's 'mirror' for significantly improved reliability.
4. Profit!!!

I'd hate to be on the marketing team that tries to figure out how to sell that one to consumers.
Now if your wife has moved the Yellow Pages to a different room in the house, you need to know where she put it. However, in this case it's more like there are 13 copies of the Yellow Pages in your home, and she's only moved one of them... so it's not too big of a deal.
I don't give a damn about the Yellow Pages, I just wish she'd stop leaving the frigg'n cordless phone burried in a pile of freshly folded laundry.

So they say they are the dot in dot com, but they should really say they are the dot in dot com dot, because they are really the dot after com not the dot before com. However this last dot is often forgotten, it really means the name is absolute rather than relative. This is very much like the leading slash in paths to files.
Hmm, now I'm writing on slashdot about leading slashes and trailing dots, what a coincidence.
