Dear Colleagues,
On 1 August 2007, the RIPE NCC will update the RIPE Database server so that IP queries return IRT objects by default.
Details of this change are available here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2007/msg00113.html
To help ensure a smooth transition, we have set up a test server, which can be accessed at: test-whois-default-irt.ripe.net port 43043
This server runs the updated RIPE Database software, and contains data identical to the RIPE Database.
You may use this server to test your tools and queries against the new default behaviour. For command line parameters, use "-h test-whois-default-irt.ripe.net -p 43043 <your_query>".
The test server will be decomissioned on 1 August 2007. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to <ripe-dbm@ripe.net>.
Regards,
