It would be really good to have a formal public statement of intent from UMD about their long term plans for 128.8.10.90 after retirement so that we don't have a repeat of the L root hijacking debacle in 2008.
Quite so: UMD: Where will the old IP route after the 6 month period is complete? Somewhere safe? In point of fact, ISTM that there *is no way* to make this completely safe; granted that it's a low percentage attack, and thus probably not useful to actual attackers, but the possibility exists that someone could hijack that block at a provider level, and provide their own replacement for that old server IP. But of course, they can do it *now*, too, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
