Re: [db-wg] Glimpse not working?

[Shane Kerr <]

All,

Unfortunately when we looked at this the system was working. We have not
noticed any problems over the last few weeks either. The monitoring has
been tweaked, and we will get notification if it happens again so that
we can investigate the underlying causes.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

One idea that we have discussed is to remove the Glimpse search, and
provide full text search in the Whois server itself. I see several
advantages (consistent output format, no arbitrary rate limits, and so
on), but only one disadvantage (performance). Unless the working group
has a big problem with it, we will probably do some investigation of
speed and see if it is possible.
