[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, On 1 August 2007, the following changes will be made to the default behaviour for IP queries of the RIPE Database: * The "-c" flag behaviour will become the default for all IP queries. This means that when querying an IP address or range, any query not containing the "-L", "-l", "-M", "-m" or "-x" flags will, by default, return the IRT object referenced by the closest less specific inet(6)num (if such a reference exists). * A new "-C" flag will be implemented to provide the old behaviour and ensure backwards compatibility. The behaviour of the "-c" flag itself will not change, nor will there be any change for those queries that include other IP flags ("-L", "-l", "-M", "-m" or "-x"). Please adjust any software that you maintain that queries the RIPE Database and relies on this behaviour. Regards, Katie Petrusha Database Department RIPE NCC
