Dear all, The new 2.0 whois server runs now on port 4444. People might want to give it a try before we put it in production. New features: - twice the speed for any classless lookups - the lookup algoritm is changed such that: Matyas Matyas can finally be found and also Daniel David hasn't problems anymore with finding himself in the database - unlimited number of matches allowed you can now find all davids in the RIPE database As always: please send bug reports directly to me and I will fix the problem. The service will be a little bit less reliable then our standard whois server since I am still working on the code. In general: I will try to keep the new server only 5 seconds behind the normal server between 9:00-19:00 local time. We will put the server in production when I have finished the code for the role object and auto NIC handle generation. I plan to finish that in about a week time. Kind regards, David K. --- How to try this out: Do the next command if your whois client supports choosing different ports then the default one (or edit the RIPE perl whois source code) $ whois -p 4444 -h whois.ripe.net Matyas Matyas Or do: $ telnet whois.ripe.net 4444 <return> Trying 193.0.0.194... Connected to dbase.ripe.net. Escape character is '^]'. Matyas Matyas <return> (The new database distribution will include a whois version that supports the selection of the port)
