Is this normal behaviour?

Hello, A routine check on as-macro AS-EURONET on the RIPE-database returned an unexpected result. The same check on the RADB whoisd (whois.raddb.net) however, returned the expected result together with two unexpected ones. Investigation learned us that someone deleted an unprotected as-macro on the RIPE-database. It seems it is fixed now. But what I would like to know is to what extend the several whois databases a synchronised, in other words; how reliable is the information retrieved from it? And... is the as-set object supposed to be unique or not? -- Marco Davids / SARA - Academic Computing Services Amsterdam Today's tip: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc1925.txt
