Hi Andy, The whois is itself is up and running on v6 and is responding. The traceroute you have sent clearly shows there is a connectivity issue, however checking query logs we can see we are receiving the usual amount of queries over IPv6. I will forward this to our IT Department so they can investigate it further. Kind Regards, Kaveh. --- Kaveh Ranjbar, RIPE NCC Database Group Manager On Apr 5, 2012, at 11:09 AM, Andy Davidson wrote:
Dear colleagues,
I am having timeout problems reaching whois.ripe.net over v6 this morning. In other words, it seems dead over v6.
