Would you agree that _even after_ some IP address has "reached its daily limit", that there is no real point in blocking further queries which _do_ use the -r option? >For bulk access to the RIPE Database, split files (per object type) are >published on the RIPE FTP site: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ Thank you. I didn't know about this resource and it should be most helpful, going forward. I'm just curious though... Where might I find brief descriptions of what's in each of the files at the above URL? The contents of many/most of the files in that directory are really obvious, like ripe.db.aut-num.gz and ripe.db.inetnum.gz. But others are less so. For example, what's the difference between three three: -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 28491 Nov 18 00:26 ripe.db.as-block.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1610549 Nov 18 00:26 ripe.db.as-set.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 7248902 Nov 18 00:26 ripe.db.aut-num.gz Reards, rfg P.S. I' sure that I will derive hours of enjoyment from the contents of the ripe.db.poem.gz file. So thanks for that too. I had no idea that RIPE members were so... um... literary.
