IPv6 root DNS change

Noted on slashdot:

  Just before year's end, ICANN/IANA sent out a short message saying that "on 4
  February 2008, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of the four
  root servers whose operators have requested it."

There are some potential bugs in spf libraries that should be tested:

Especially those that use their own resolver, e.g. pyspf + pydns.  
Firewall appliances that look inside DNS packets are also suspect.
(And one pyspf user has already had trouble with a firewall that didn't
like DNS request packets with a TID of 0.)
