Dear Dmitry Dmitrienko, It is not necessary to request an autonomous system (AS) number for a PI assignment. An AS number is only required if the network is going to be multi-homed with its own unique routing policy. If you do require a AS number for this network because it will be multi-homed with its own unique routing policy then you should correctly and completely fill out the form found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asnrequestform.html For more information on AS number policy see this document: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asn-assignment.html Best Regards, -- Timothy Lowe RIPE NCC Staff X-Organization: RIPE Network Coordination Centre X-Phone: +31 20 535 4444 X-Fax: +31 20 535 4445 > > Message-ID: <025f01c37c43$c1e96f60$1d02a8c0(a)cit.co.ru> > From: "postmaster" <postmaster(a)godhead.ru> > To: <db-help(a)ripe.net> > Subject: PI blocks & AS numbers > X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 > Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 15:14:55 +0400 > > > > Good day, colleagues! > My name is Dmitry (DD4440-RIPE) from OJSC COMBELLGA, ISP , Russia. > It's for the first time to registrate PI block for our customer.

hi all, I´ve got a problem setting up the whois db server from your ftp server. I tried to install it in 3 versions (3.2.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.0). I followed exactly the instructions in the INSTALL files.

Did I make any mistake? regards Andreas
