Hi, As APNIC uses the RIPE database software, I thought I might intrude here for a second and throw in my two yen. >> Names likes this will be rejected in the next release of the updating >> code.

If you decide to do this, please make a compile or run-time configuration option that will defeat this syntax check. > WRT "fuzzy" / wildcard matches - it would make the RIPE-DB software > more user friendly (and maybe more attractive for deployment by other > registries) to provide for (implicit/explicit) regexp or partial key > matches. To what end? Is the purpose of the database registration information lookup or a more general white pages service? I' would suggest the former and leave the latter to the WHOIS++/LDAP/X.500 crowd. Regards, -drc
