The problem is getting the AAAA records for them published.
A local copy of "root-servers.net" with the AAAA records
added will suffice. "www.root-servers.org" will supply
you with the necessary information to construct such a

Ok, so I'm sure this is a REALLY dumb question, but what has prevented
anyone from taking the informatoin from www.root-servers.org and
creating a named.boot file with both the A and AAAA records for the
root nameservers, and started telling people to install it?
Would there be a downside if, say, the Ubuntu and Fedora Linux
distributions started shipping a /etc/bind/db.root file that included
the AAAA records for the root name servers? Are the IPv6 addresses
stable enough they it would be a good thing to get them widely
installed in thousands if not millions of machines all over the
Internet? Because if they are suitably stable, it wouldn't be that
hard to arrange....
