status and use/fulness of the geoloc: attribute
by Wilfried Woeber 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Dear DB-Folks, in preparation for the upcoming WG Meeting in Amsterdam, and following up on dicussions during the previous one, I'd like to start the review and discussion on the geoloc: attribute in IPv4 and IPv6 inetnum objects. To get things going I'd like to solicit input from people and entities who/which have populated objects, and those making use of the information. What was your experience? Is this stuff useful? On a more general basis I'd like the community to review the current (sort of experimental) functionality and comment on the problems - if any - or suggest improvements! At the same time I am asking the NCC to provide us with some insight on the current use of this attribute. Thanks, Wilfried.

Update of mntner object with mixed authentication
by Alexander Gall 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

I'm trying to update the "shared" 6to4 anycast-relay maintainer object RFC3068-MNT. My own authentication for the object is PGP. But how the heck do I get a full copy of the object including the other people's MD5 hashes if I don't have a password myself? Puzzled, -- Alex

Deprecation of DOMAIN object attributes
by Denis Walker 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, At RIPE 62, the RIPE NCC was asked to look at the attributes in DOMAIN objects. A suggestion was put forward to deprecate the following attributes: mnt-lower: sub-dom: dom-net: refer: These were considered to be of no use after the removal of forward domain data and no longer allowing hierarchical, reverse delegation data. The RIPE NCC is now removing these attributes from the syntax. It will no longer be possible to create objects with these attributes. To modify objects already containing them, these attributes will need to be removed. As a follow up the RIPE NCC will "clean" the reverse delegation and ENUM DOMAIN object data to remove these attributes. The web forms for both updates and queries will also have these attributes removed. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

New delegation checking software
by Anand Buddhdev 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Tomorrow, 8 August 2012, the RIPE NCC will deploy a change to the RIPE Database update software. As part of this deployment, we will switch to a new DNS delegation checker, developed by .SE, the Swedish domain name registry. This change should not have any impact on the process of registering a reverse DNS delegation in the RIPE Database. However, the informational and diagnostic messages this software returns will look different from the ones you have been seeing so far. There should be no noticeable outage in any of the services during this deployment. There will be no change to any other parts of the RIPE Database update or query software with this deployment. Along with these changes to the back-end software, the RIPE NCC will also update the web-based delegation checker at: http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/dns This new web-based delegation checker will use the same software as the back-end. We will send another announcement after we have deployed this new software. If you have any questions or comments, please send an email to <dns(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC
