Hi, I have an internal RIPE DB instance to which 'am not able to add a new inetnum object. Following the e-mail reply I get after submitting a e-mail request: SUMMARY OF UPDATE: Number of objects found: 1 Number of objects processed successfully: 0 Create: 0 Modify: 0 Delete: 0 No Operation: 0 Number of objects processed with errors: 1 Create: 1 Modify: 0 Delete: 0 Syntax Errors: 0 DETAILED EXPLANATION: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following object(s) were found to have ERRORS: --- Create FAILED: [inetnum] 10.122.0.0 - 10.122.0.127 ***Info: Syntax check passed inetnum: 10.122.0.0 - 10.122.0.127 netname: SUBNET1-LOOPBACK0 descr: Loopback0 addresses country: US admin-c: AR1-ATTIR tech-c: HK1-ATTIR status: ALLOCATED PA notify: aramarajan(a)att.com mnt-by: MNT-ATTIR mnt-lower: MNT-ATTIR changed: aramarajan(a)att.com source: ATTIR ***Warning: Date '20050711' added to changed: attribute 'aramarajan(a)att.com' ***Error: ALLOCATED inetnum objects require the RIPE NCC maintainer The person (AR1-ATTIR and HK1-ATTIR), role and mntner (MNT-ATTIR) refereffed above have already been loaded using make_db from a flat file similar to sample.db.gz.

DNSSEC deployment on the reverse tree.
by Olaf M. Kolkman 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues The RIPE NCC has been involved with the development of the DNSSEC protocol. Now that the protocol has become available, we plan to implement DNSSEC on our domains in the reverse DNS tree. The deployment of DNSSEC is the second and last phase of the Reverse DNS restructuring project. You can find more information about this project at: http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/dnssec/index.html To implement DNSSEC, we propose extending the policy for Policy for Reverse Address Delegation of IPv4 and IPv6 Address Space in the RIPE NCC Service Region. You can find the proposed policy at: http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/dnssec/draft-dnssec-policy.html. We welcome your feedback on this poposal before 1 August 2005. Please send your comments to the DNS Working Group Mailing List. We are also introducing two new procedures: "DNSSEC Key Maintenance Procedure" http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/dnssec/key-maintenance-procedure.html and "Procedure for Requesting DNSSEC Delegations" http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/dnssec/registry-procedure.html Your feedback on these drafts is also welcome, again please send this to the DNS Working Group Mailing List. As part of the "Procedure for Requesting DNSSEC Delegations" we plan to add a "ds-rdata:" attribute to DOMAIN objects. Regards Olaf M Kolkman New Projects, RIPE NCC.

RIPE51: EOF Stream/Plenary presentations from the DB-WG Camp
by Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Dear DB-WG subscribers! We expect the next RIPE Meeting (RIPE51 @ AMS) to be structured very much like RIPE50 (aka the "new format" :-) At the end of August 05, the Chair of RIPE and the meeting planners, together with the WG chairs, would like to review (the better part of) the EOF/Plenary Stream contributions. In order to avoid being paralized by many people being out of office during summer, I'd like to distribute this call for presentations for the Plenary from the DB-WG environment. If you intend to offer a presentation, or would like to see a particular presentation at RIPE51, please spaek up now - either to me directly or to the WG list. This is just an early warning, please expect a formal call for contributions. Thanks, and have a nice summer and relaxing vaction period! Wilfried.

mnt-routes bugs
by Daniel Roesen 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hi, instead of spending developer time on poem/limerick objects, could we please get all the mnt-routes and other authorization bugs fixed, like: http://www.ripe.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118 http://www.ripe.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136 http://www.ripe.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=137 and today I might have found a possible bug that is similar to 118, but IPv6: ***Warning: The parent [route6] 2001:5000::/21AS1273 has invalid prefix ranges in "mnt-routes:" attribute(s): 2001:5001:103::/48 The object has: route6: 2001:5000::/21 ... mnt-routes: CLUE-MNT {2001:5001:103::/48} I'm trying to create route6 2001:5001:103::/48. Is the mnt-routes syntax used wrong? Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr(a)cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0

What are the current limits on whois lookups and how does one get a specific IP changed? I have someone getting "ERROR:202: access control limit reached for x.x.x.x" Thanks, Hank

irt object useless
by Andre Koopal 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Last week we updated all our allocations with an IRT object. However, this ended out to be quite useless as the IRT object isn't shown in a default query, which 99% of joe-user will do, they don't know to specify -c. Another problem I noticed is that the irt-nfy isn't suppressed if you do specify -c. So I want to propose to show the IRT object in a default query and to also hide the irt-nfy attribute in that default query. Regards, Andre Koopal MCI
