Hi, Somewhere in the next couple of weeks, ns.ripe.net will change IP address. The new box will have DNS recursion disabled (i.e. you cannot resolve off it), to make chances lower to get infected by bogus resource records without affecting intended operation. This should go unnoticed to you, except: - If you have a DNS glue record for ns.ripe.net, I ask you to remove the glue record. No zone except ripe.net needs it, newer DNS software ignores it but there is a lot of old software around.. - If you resolve off ns.ripe.net (some do, for backup reasons), I ask you to look for another solution. Please get in touch with <ncc@ripe.net> if you feel this is too much of a problem. Many thanks to the people that I contacted last week to open up their nameservers to allow the new box to get the zones too. As far as I know, all zones are loaded at the new box. We will maintain a nameserver at the old address for some time after the switch, mainly to detect straggle pointers to the old address. Please refer questions to <ncc@ripe.net>. Thanks, Geert Jan
