The RIPE NCC is now running a version of the RIPE DB code modified by ISI to support RPSL. The server is running in the configuration specified by Phase II in the "RIPE-181 to RPSL transition plan" (ftp://ftp.ripe.net/internet-drafts/draft-ie tf-rps-transition-02.txt) This phase of the transition plan aims to allow users to get familiar with at least part of RPSL while keeping RIPE 181 as the language in the production database. It is essentially an experimentation phase. (Note: Due to a problem in the interaction between the real-time mirroring in the RPSL version of the code and the production database, synchronization of the two databases is currently done only once a day (during the night). This will be fixed soon. ) Phase ii info ------------- whois host: rpslii.ripe.net port: 43 e-mail updates: auto-rpsl@ripe.net (only aut-num objects in phase ii) humans: ripe-dbm@ripe.net Updates other than to aut-num objects will fail with the following error message: *ERROR*: unknown object type in RIPE registry Please send questions, comments, etc to ripe-dbm@ripe.net Joao Damas RIPE NCC
