About 2 months ago, I downloaded and installed the RIPE 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"

 

I have noticed that queries directed at whois.ripe.net get different results than queries directed at my local server:

 

# ripewhois -h 193.0.0.135 85.0.0.0
inetnum:      85.0.0.0 - 85.7.255.255
...
# ripewhois -h 127.0.0.1 -p 43001 85.0.0.0
inetnum:       80.0.0.0 - 88.255.255.255
...

 

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

 

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?

 

Thanks
