Ideally you would have your own local mirror or similar.

Since there is the near realtime mirroring that occurs, other servers get the 
data within 5-30 minutes.

This means you can point at one of the other IRR servers.

Those of you who have cron jobs doing an automatic pull can be quite surprised
by scenarios like this.

And of *course* you're doing it from a cron job.  Depending on a NOC monkey
to do it every day to pick up newly created prefixes is just *asking* for
trouble tickets to get created when you're not accepting a perfectly valid
but only two week old prefix.

How come?  What situations would you run into that are so urgent about updating 
prefix lists that the task can’t be put off for a few hours?

RADb Outage?

2016-01-22 Thread Brian Rak 
whois.radb.net seems to have been down since sometime last night, has 
anyone else seen problems with this?


It seems the web interface still works, but that's not very useful for 
scripts.

   Service for the RADb whois protocol has now been restored.  We were 
experiencing
extensive DDOS activity directed at the whois service host(s).
