Re: [cobalt-users] DNS Root recent server change?

You will need to modify /etc/named/db.cache ..
The only changes is :

B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.  changed from  128.9.0.107  to 192.228.79.201

You can manually edit /etc/named/db.cache and then restart named or follow
the procedure below:

SU to the server
cd /tmp

wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/db.cache

grep -v "^;\|^$\|^\." db.cache | sort > db.cache.new

grep -v "^;\|^$\|^\." /etc/named/db.cache | sort > db.cache.old

diff db.cache.new db.cache.old (to see the difference)

cp /etc/named/db.cache /etc/db.cache.bak-`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`

cat db.cache.new > /etc/named/db.cache

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

Now remove files in /tmp:

rm db.cache.old db.cache.new db.cache
