Dear Colleagues,
[apologies for duplicate messages]
Next Monday, 10 November 2003, we need to perform a maintenance
work on the RIPE Whois Server to replace a faulty piece of hardware.
During the maintenance work,
- Whois Database updates will be stopped,
- all update mails to <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> will be queued
to be processed later,
- Webupdate and syncupdate interfaces will be unavailable,
- The whois queries will _not_ be interrupted.
The maintenance work will start at 12:00 UTC (13:00 Amsterdam time)
on 10 November 2003 and expected to last 2 to 3 hours.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Please do not hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net> for any
questions.
Best regards,
--
