WHOIS server software and set up NRTM to whois.ripe.net. It seems to be
running okay. The last line of my ripupdlog says: "forwarded to
serial:5901142"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I have noticed that queries directed
at whois.ripe.net get different results than queries directed at my local
server:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I'm wondering why they are
different. I've tried using -m with the local server to get a more
specific result but it reports: %ERROR:101: no entries found</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I've noticed that the "changed"
attribute for the inetnum returned from whois.ripe.net indicates
"20050125". My local server was down during that time. Would it not
have caught up when I brought it up again? If not, how do I get a new
mysqldump to bring my server up to date?</FONT></DIV>
