Dear colleagues,

On 3 December, at around 15:40 (UTC+1), Matt Nordhoff and Peter van Dijk
alerted us to a problem with the DNS resolution of certain names in
ripe.net. Upon investigation, we discovered that a recent update in the
zone had changed the status of some address records to glue records.
This change was not handled correctly by our DNSSEC signer, and it left
spurious NSEC records in the zone, which then caused validation failures.

Eventually, around 20:00 (UTC+1), we forced the DNSSEC signer to fully
re-sign the zone, and this fixed the problem. We have reported this
issue to the developers of the DNSSEC signing software, and they are
investigating. We are also adding some extra monitoring to our
infrastructure, to detect such problems more quickly.

Regards,
Anand Buddhdev
