auto-dbm "bad hair day".

[RIPE Database Administration <]

Dear Colleagues,

There is a significant delay with <auto-dbm> today.
This is due to a rare combination of events which
have caused a heavy demand for resources.

We have taken steps to improve the situation, and I
do expect the situation to improve, although not as
fast as I would like.

Your updates are currently being queued and eventually
they will be processed in the order in which they were
delivered.  However, some users continue to send very 
large updates during office hours and this slows the
entire system down for everyone.

I realise how important this is to you and that it is
inconvenient.  I take a personal pride in the speed at 
which auto-dbm responds and I wish to assure you that
we are doing everything possible to restore the service
to its usual level.

Thank you for your patience today.  If you have anymore 
questions, please contact ripe-dbm@localhost.

Regards,

Ambrose Magee
