Whois information for assigned PA
by Yawhen Kasarzhewski 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Greetings, can anyone advise which country should contain the record for 'assigned PA' address? Should it be the country of location of the person/company to which PA was assigned or the country of location of the server and it's datacentre to which it was assigned? Seems, in former case geoip databases will determine the country incorrectly, won't they? But the location of the owner will be seen in both cases in the address field. Is there any RIPE policy regarding that?

Resource Temporarily Unavailable
by John Hall 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

Hello Webmaster, I am trying to use scripted queries. I have a very low volume web page which is advertising my house. I try to capture the ipaddress of anyone who views the site, initially because when I did a manual lookup none of the queries seemed to be from my target audience of local househunters. If I got 10 views a day it would be a miracle. I don't think your restriction of my checks is reasonable with sucha low volume of searches. Can you restore the service for me, or details exactly how to use the port 43 servcie from whois.ripe.net -- Best regards, John Hall john(a)spook.co.uk

Inetnum contact data
by Gary Armstrong 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi All I work for a business ISP and we're nervous about making customers the admin contact on inetnum objects (giving them the ability to send spam and report it as genuine, and possibly getting other customers blocked). So I was just wondering what data other LIRs entered as admin contacts in inetnum objects, so if any of you out there are reading this please could you let me know?
