I wonder why this happens this way.

It seems like a database is updated too late, or that there is latency 
between update and visibility.

It is the as if the DNS were updated towards a fixed prefix that IETF 
meetings would carry wherever it moves.

But I am not sure IETF meetings use same IP addresses wherever the 
meeting moves?

Is the IPv6 DNS resolver address constant at IETF meetings?
