Subject: A DNS Database Referral Mechanism Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 10:44:31 +0200 From: Carol Orange <Carol.Orange@ripe.net>

Dear Carol!

Hi all,

Below is a proposal put together by Wilfried Woeber and myself to address the need for a referral mechanism for domain name queries in the RIPE database.

Thank you very much for putting that into proper wording and having it distributed to the groups. I feel it is appropriate to add that, while Carol and me did some finishing and sanity checking, we already received a considerable amount of very valuable comments and ideas from quite a few others. A big thank you to all of them! I thus urge the community to have a focussed discussion of the proposal, leading to a conclusion and implementation decision at the DNS & DB-WG meeting(s) is Dublin. Thanks, Wilfried. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber@CC.UniVie.ac.at Computer Center - ACOnet : Vienna University : Tel: +43 1 4065822 355 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4065822 170 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : NIC: WW144 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
