[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, Between approximately 12:30 and 13:30 (UTC) on 30 August 2011, we experienced an outage of the RIPE Database Web Services. During this period, it was not possible to access any of the web-based interfaces. This includes Webupdates, Query and Full Text Search. Core database services were not affected. This includes updates sent via Syncupdates or the email interface and queries made to port 43. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
