As long as no alternative root is going to use the old IP number, it
is not. When BIND starts, it queries one of the rootservers in the
hints file, and requests the list of rootservers from that. As long as
one IP is still correct (and none points to another root), there is no
big problem. Just one changed IP is not critical.
