Dear Colleagues,
At the RIPE 55 Meeting, Ondr(ej SurĂ½ (CZ.NIC) made a proposal to the RIPE
NCC Services Working Group suggesting that the scope of the RIPE NCC's
DNS Monitoring (DNSMON) service be extended to permit the monitoring of
ENUM domains.
During the meeting, the working group reached consensus and approved the
proposal. The RIPE NCC has now implemented the requested changes.
The DNSMON document has also been simplified and republished as a new
RIPE Document. This document, ripe-429, "DNS Monitoring Service for
Infrastructure Domains", can be found online at:
