Subject:  RRDB Setup for Client: Need Info

Marten,

First of all, I want to congratulate you and your team for a
stimulating and informative presentation last week at IETF.
I would very much appreciate it if you would give me the email
address of the person who gave the presentation on RPSL; I didn't
quite catch his name or email id and I would like to get in touch 
with him about RPSL. Thank you.

I am engaged in helping our client (a major department of the US
Government) set up its own RRDB. We want this RRDB to be an exact
mirror - in terms of controlling software - to the RRDB's currently
set up for RIPE and MERIT, with of course small exceptions for 
local usage. So far I have been able to locate and rebuild the set
of tools which are available from RIPE. What I would now like pointers
to would be the following:

	1. The special whois server software which fields inquiries.

	2. The software which fields mailed in email updates to the
database and automatically updates the database.

	3. Any report generating software.

I am assuming hewre, of course, that this software, like the tools,
is essentially public domain. I would also like to know if there
is a mailing list or some other sort of revisiion control system in
place for all of this software, and if so could I please be added
to this list.

	Finally, I would like to know if there exists a document which 
gives advice on whattt is required to set up your own RRDB, and then
put in links to other RRDB's. I would also appreciate any pointers to
software and/or documents discussing the issue of synchronicity which
you raised towards the end of your presentation.

Thank you.
