Deletion of German domains

Because the is tld has to exist in the ripe-db (for the "refer" option)
the person objects need to exist in the ripe-db for that domain.
So if you would lookup something like vortex.is in the ripe-db you can see
that it has only person objects with the source IS and those objects are not
in the ripe-db and can only be looked up in whois.isnet.is.

So the objects within the is tld-record are allways going to be maintained in
two places, but that are the only ones.

About that error you got when looking up isnet.is I have never seen it before.
I get about 1/3 of the queries on .is domains from joshua.ripe.net and I haven't
got any complains about this before so it looks like it is working.

And I have to say that since we set up this db we have run into quite a few
delays in registering IP networks in the ripe-db that we could not have lived
with when registering domains so now it is only ourselves to blaim if something
is slow with the domains.
