RADB and other IRRs running IRRd accept a "!s" command to set (change from default) the specified sources (including mirrored sources). The return for each query is done on a first-hit matching mechanism. One may conceivably switch/modify search orders prior to each query. IRRToolSet (formerly RAToolSet) has the capability of specifying a different IRR server but this means one would incur a penalty for closing and reopening connections between switching servers. It is far better (and friendlier to the IRRs) from a performance standpoint to keep persistant connections to a single server that is fully mirroring. -- /*===================[ Jake Khuon <[email protected]> ]======================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | --------------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| N E T W O R K S | +=========================================================================*/
