Re: URGENT: Bug fixes in the RIPE database distribution

  • To: RIPE Database software maintainer < >
  • From: Selina Priestley < >
  • Date: Wed, 31 May 1995 13:07:26 -0400
  • Cc:

Has anyone been looking at the problems with the whois server?  This
has really been a problem for operations here, since a) the problems
*appear* to be non-deterministic and b) sometimes the exact netmask
for a route is not known.

Here's an example of whois oddity.  Why doesn't the RADB 192.5.4.0/23 show
up in the second query?

Thanks,

Selina
