database mirroring
by Andres Riancho 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

List, I'm doing some research for my University project and I want to know if it is possible to create a local mirror of the whois server at whois.ripe.net . I have been reading a lot and found some references to "Near Real Time Mirroring" and also to the "-g" option of the whois client, but nothing that I could really use. Please note that I dont want to setup a whois server that forwards requests, I want a mirror. Could someone please point me to a document where I can find the requirements ( if any ) for mirroring the whois database, and also the technical details for making this happend ? Are there any copyright problems I should worry about when doing a whois.ripe.net mirror ? This is my first post to this list, so excuse me if this aint the right place to ask. Thanks in advance for all your replies. Cheers, -- Andres Riancho
