[dns-wg] RIPE NCC Service Interruption on 29 September

Tue Oct 4 08:44:39 CEST 2005

Dear Colleagues,

As we announced on 29 September, there was an unexpected disruption to our 
whois and web services between 05:10 and  06:00 UTC.

Our investigations have shown that the problem was caused by an increasing 
traffic load and a growing number of peers on one of our routers. We made 
some configuration changes to improve load balancing between our border 
routers. This should prevent any similar problems from occurring in the future.

We apologise for any disruption or delay this may have caused. If you have 
any further questions about this matter, please send an e-mail to 
<ops at ripe.net>.

Regards

Ruud de Kooter
RIPE NCC
