Help with domain object creation
by Idris Saliu 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Hello All, I'm a newbie working at and ISP, trying to get reverse lookup working for some of the domains hosted on my company's dns server. A lot of our customers have been unable to send emails to some domain notably aol. I learnt today that i need to get RIPE delegate the affected IP address space to me. I've been through some of the documentation I found online on how to go about this using marvin, but I'm still unable to get things working. The particular error messages I get is: *** No RIPE Database objects found in your request *** I would be very grateful if someone can please provide me the necessary information i need to create a working domain object. A sample domain object will also be very much appreciated or where to find information to create one. Thanks in advance. -- idris + (234) 8033768151 A core dump is your computer's way of saying "Here's what's on my mind, what's on yours?"
