[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear Colleagues,

Some of you received email messages last month from the RIPE NCC with
alerts about lame DNS servers. These messages were generated as part of
the RIPE NCC's DNS lameness project.

Unfortunately, the alerts were not entirely correct, and showed all the
servers of some reverse zones as lame. This was caused by programming
errors in the software that produced the messages.

We have identified these errors, and we are correcting them. We are also
introducing additional tests and safeguards to improve the quality of
our DNS lameness measurements.

For more information on the RIPE NCC's DNS lameness project, please see:

Regards,
Anand Buddhdev
DNS Services Manager, RIPE NCC
