Re: Problem with whois.ripe.net?

Yes, I verified it.  Oddly, it was preceeded by not being able to run a whois against whois.ripe.net for about 20 minutes from my location (connection timed out).  Seems to be working fine now.  Must be the gremlins.

I'm seeing this from multiple locations.  Anyone else?  I get a similar response from their
web whois as well.

whois -h whois.ripe.net <any IP address, RIPE or otherwise>

This is what you get by default if the block you requested is not RIPE's

Are you sure you're requesting a RIPE's block ?
