You could always ask the A root server (or one of the others) what it thinks 
the IP should be:

% dig l.root-servers.net. @a.root-servers.net | grep l
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> l.root-servers.net. @a.root-servers.net
;; global options: +cmd
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 14
;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available
;l.root-servers.net.            IN      A
l.root-servers.net.     3600000 IN      A       199.7.83.42
root-servers.net.       3600000 IN      NS      l.root-servers.net.
