- talk to the DB operators and explain what your want to do, and why, and ask for access to the "missing" person,... split file. This might solve your problem if you want to perform a snapshot analsys
I think I'll try that since I don't really want any e-mail address that shows on the role/person object, they could probably give me a 'recent' snapshot of the split file.
- if you want to run your analysis on a more regular basis, then getting an NRTM[1] set up at your site might be a better solution. This requires a formal agreement with the NCC about the DO's and DON'Ts, again talk to ripe-dbm.
I thought of that too, but my analisys is restricted to Portugal and portuguese speaking countrys, which represents less than 1% of the whole database and I would be using so much useless bandwidth and I think there's enough pointless traffic on the internet :) I'll try to contact the db operators, thanks for your suggestions! regards, Francisco Guerreiro
