Updates to the RIPE whois database stopped

Dear All,

Due to a crash of our whois server which we experienced last Saturday we 
are stopping the updates tonight and we are going to reindex the data. 

There is no need to resend your updates. The updates will be queued
and they will be resumed tomorrow. We are also going to upgrade the 
main server so that it can cope better with the ever growing load.

The whois query service will be switched to our backup server, therefore 
the response time will be slower than usual.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate
to contact <ripe-dbm at ripe.net>.

Regards,

Marek Bukowy
