Why (5-why"s root cause analysis) is that address special?
Root server addresses come hard wired into millions of (potentially) unmanaged servers globally. Updating those addresses has been empirically proven to take a _very_ long time. Reusing those addresses is problematic and poses a security risk. There are probably others I’m forgetting.
- continue providing DNS root service on the address what does it matter if the DNS answer validates?
2/3rds of the Internet doesn’t validate after decades and it doesn’t appear the rate of change is improving all that much? Regards, -drc
