[db-wg] RIPE DB tertiary whois server

Hi,
We will send a more detailed report when the work moves
forward a little more, but:
We have been testing new faster hardware that will replace the
current whois server hardware. That 'tertiary' server is one
of the new boxes. We called it tertiary for the moment but it
(and its sisters) will replace the old slow hardware totally
later.  The work consists of changing the hardware as well as
the OS (the old hardware runs Solaris, the new ones will be
Linux).

Regards,
-engin
