A couple of months ago, I did an assisted registry check for a LIR, and the info in the Reverse DNS Consistency widget was out of date - from what I remember, over a year. This caused some confusion, as several of the problems had actually been fixed in the interim. Would it be possible to get up-to-date checks scheduled in advance of future ARC checks? It should be straightforward for the dev people to write a tool to take a regid and schedule a batch check for all the things which are reviewed in the ARC. Nick

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nick, Thank you for your feedback. Please note that the data presented in the Reverse DNS Consistency widget relates to the most recent occasion that the DNS check was performed. You can see the date of this check in the column titled "Last DNS Check". You can always refresh this data by performing a manual DNS check for the listed prefixes. To do this, you just need to click on the date of the last check and a new window will be launched where you can initiate a new check. We would also like to thank you for the suggested improvements to RIPEstat. We’re always looking for ways to make the user interface more intuitive and will take your feedback into consideration when designing future releases. Kind regards, Matt Parker IP Resource Analyst Trainer RIPE NCC On 21/04/15 13:17, Nick Hilliard wrote:

yep, that's correct. But when you're doing an ARC with a LIR who hasn't gone through the process before, the information presented during the check can be out of date, which means that the ARC isn't really performing what it's supposed to do. Would it be possible to update the procedure to have the RIPE NCC auto-refresh the DNS check data before the ARC check so that the check is done against fresh data? thanks, Nick

We agree that this makes sense, though it will require some engineering work. We will therefore strive to implement this before the RIPE Meeting. Best regards Andrea Cima RIPE NCC
