RIPE NCC Web Services interruption warning
by RIPE NCC Staff 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Dear Members, Today, Friday, 17 November, starting at 12:00pm (CET) we are re-arranging our internal network. From that time on there may be a few brief interruptions of some of our web-based services. Some of the robots might also not respond immediately, however, since mails will be queued there is no need to resend messages if you do not get a prompt auto-answer. In the evening the situation should be stable again. The whois server and the web-interface to the whois server should remain fully operational. If you notice glitches with any of our services please bear with us and try again later. Thanks, Olaf Kolkman Operations Manager RIPE NCC
