[dnsmon-user] Pending DNSMON raw data format change

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear Colleagues,

On 2 March 2009, following some adjustments to the DNSMON collector
software that runs on Test Traffic Measurement (TTM) boxes, the DNSMON
raw data format will change. This change is required to distinguish
between IPv4 and IPv6 in stream mode as used in the live data access
facility for TTM and to log the DNS query ID.

The current raw data format is:
<probe name> <unix timestamp> <nameserver> <delay> <retries> <resource
record> <resource record data>

The format will change to:
DNS|DNS6 <probe name> <unix timestamp> <nameserver> <delay> <retries>
<query-id> <resource record> <resource record data>

You should be able to handle both data formats for at least six months,
and after that you may ignore the previous format.

In all cases, any data after the resource record (at this time just
hostname.bind, id.server, soa, version.bind, version.server) is resource
record dependent. Unknown resource records need to be silently dropped
by the software.

For more information on the live data access facility for TTM, please see:

If you have any comments or queries, please email dnsmon at ripe.net>

Regards,
	Ruben van Staveren
