[db-wg] Prototype of RPSLng Whois server

[ Apologies for multiple messages ]

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC Database Group announces an RPSLng prototype Whois server
on host rpslng.ripe.net, port 53001.

RPSLng is an effort to extend RPSL language, enabling
the language to document routing policies for the
IPv6 and multicast address families currently used in the Internet.

The prototype RPSLng Whois server implements the draft
draft-damas-rpslng-00.txt
(ftp://ftp.ripe.net/internet-drafts/draft-damas-rpslng-00.txt).
In the near future we will be implementing the new RPSLng draft (http://www.radb.net/rpslng.html).

The prototype database contains a snapshot of the RIPE Whois Database.
It can be updated by sending mails to <rpslng-auto at ripe.net>.
Please note that this database is for test purposes only. Updates
performed on it will _not_ be reflected in the RIPE Whois Database.

More details can be found at:

Please contact ripe-dbm at ripe.net for any comments.

Best regards,

Engin Gunduz
RIPE NCC Database Group
