As I said before if the client can do whatever they want without maintaining
the correct serial-numbers then how can you tell the data is up-to-date ?
To be more precise. The data is up to date if the highest serial number on the mirror server matches the highest serial number on the client.

Exactly. That's why the client can't just ignore any private object. It will need to do a dummy update to advance the serial numbers. Ping Lu Cable & Wireless USA Network Tools and Analysis Group W: +1-703-292-2359 E: plu@cw.net

Nope. The only thing which the client really needs to know is the highest serial number _he_, the client, did process. If the highest serial number internal to the datastructure of the client matches the one of the mirror source is of no concern. Please keep in mind that i can write a mirror client which doesnt needs to have the same structure as the ripe-db and therefore may very well miss a "serial" number like the ripe-server has. best regards, Arnd -- NetHead Network Design and Security Arnd Vehling av@nethead.De Gummersbacherstr. 27 Phone: +49 221 8809210 50679 Cologne, Germany Fax : +49 221 8809212
