FYI, Got the following message in dns-oarc.net mailing list.

(source :
https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2016-March/014489.html)

This is an advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv6
addresses in the DNS Root Zone for the L root-server, also known
asL.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by ICANN.

The current IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET service are:

199.7.83.42
2001:500:3::42

As of March 23, 2016; the new IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
service will be:

199.7.83.42
2001:500:9f::42

The change will be implemented on the root zone on March 23, 2016
2100UTC,  however the new address is already operational.

We encourage DNS infrastructure operators to update their DNS
resolvers root "hints² files ASAP.

New hints files will be available at the usual URLs once the
change has been formally executed on March 23, 2016:
