I tried to keep it clear, although it can be very confusing. As a point of clarification, is the RIPE engine at mae-e a registry or server? (feel free to jump right in here martin/tony)
Which RIPE engine? I think that there may be two - a whois server (which runs off of the RIPE database) and a route server. Both of these are actually applications of the registry - the whois server is a way of querying the registry; the route server is a more specialized application.
