AAAA records to be added for root servers

セキュmemo から AAAA records to be added for root servers へ。おお、とうとう来るんですね。

On 4 February 2008, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of
the four root servers whose operators have requested it. A technical analysis
of inserting IPv6 records into the root has been done by a joint working
group of ICANN's Root Server System Advisory Committee and Security and
Stability Advisory Committee, a report of which can be found at
http://www.icann.org/committees/security/ sac018.pdf. Network operators
should take whatever steps they feel appropriate to prepare for the
inclusion of AAAA records in response to root queries.

More information will be posted to the IANA web site during January.

ちょっと意外だったのは『dd AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of the four root servers』の下り。一度に全 root servers に追加するのはやっぱり影響範囲が見えないから、かなぁ？
