Dear WG,

We’re investigating the possibility of increasing the frequency of refreshing the split files on the FTP site and the impact it would have for other users.

As an alternative solution, can you use our primary mirror since it’s up-to-date?

Hi RIPE NCC, WG,

I have a use-case in which secondaire NRTM mirrors can't easily reseed
from the data stored at ftp.ripe.net:/ripe/dbase/ because the
intermediate NRTM mirror retains less history than the actual delta
between when the dump was made and the current serial.

In other words, if I want to reseed an IRR instance I have to do so
before lunch (UTC), because after lunch the delta usually is too large.

This can be mitigated if the dump files in ftp.ripe.net:/ripe/dbase/split
are refreshed more often then once a day.

Would it be possible to dump every 6 hours instead of every 24 hours?

Kind regards,

Job
