Dear Colleagues, RIPE Database sync updates, web-updates and API updates are not responding at the moment. We are dealing with hardware problems on the machines used for the database update cluster. The service was affected from from 07:58 CET (05:58 UTC) and we are working to recover it as soon as possible. Queries will keep working and updates via emails are queued and will be processed as soon as the service is up. We will send an update message as soon as the service is up or when we have an estimate on how long it takes to fix the problem. Kind Regards, Kaveh Ranjbar RIPE NCC Database Group Manager
