The dns-root-data package contains various DNS root zone related data as published by IANA to be used by various DNS software as a common source of DNS root zone data. This release includes updates such as the new A and AAAA records of the B root server. Without this update, users could face slowdowns when doing DNS queries after the old B root server’s IP addresses cease functioning, on November 27th 2024.
