Since the H root server IP address will be changing I have a question:
http://h.root-servers.org/renumber.html

how does bind get the root servers these days?
I think the code includes a set.

yes, a hardcoded fallback

Is there a provision to query a known address to get an update?

AFAIK no

(I also know that I can define a hints file locally)

i am using a script like below to deploy the hint-files
well, not terrible happy about non-TLS at the moment

[root@buildserver:~]$ cat /buildserver/distribute-dns-root-zones.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash

if wget --quiet ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache --output-document=/var/named/chroot/var/named/named.ca; then

 cat /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.ca | grep "last update"
 chmod 0644 /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.ca
 ** rsync to nameservers **
fi
