Package: dbndns
Version: 1:1.05-8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

dbndns no longer works for many domains,
or takes dozens of tries to work.
Some days logs are filled with errors, 
mainly involving 128.8.10.90,
pushing out actual usage.

This root server IP is defunct.
attached below is my corrected 
/etc/dnsroots.global
which I also copied to 
/etc/sv/dnscache/root/servers/@

dbndns now works again.

ref:

some random, out of order quotes:

  2. Root Server D - Division of Information Technology - University of Maryland

     ...has retired root server IP... 
    The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13
    It will replace the previous IP
            address of 128.8.10.90 (also once known as TERP.UMD.EDU).
            Advisory: D-root is changing its IPv4 address on 3 January 2013.

Please note that the link is not secure.
I verified the new ip at 4.2.2.1 and 8.8.8.8 using nslookup.

FYI: the experimental version still has the old IP
