<Apologies for the duplicate email but want to keep you informed about changes occurring at ARIN. This particular upgrade may be of interest to those who are not subscribed to arin-announce.> ----- Forwarded message from Member Services <info@arin.net> ----- From: Member Services <info@arin.net> Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 07:11:54 -0400 To: "arin-announce@arin.net" <arin-announce@arin.net> Subject: [arin-announce] Whois-RWS Release Update On 26 June, ARIN rolled out Whois-RWS. Unfortunately, we experienced a very significant increase in traffic after rollout which exceeded our load capacity and caused the new service to degrade to an unacceptable level. To ensure customers could continue to access ARIN's Whois data, we have reverted to the old service which degrades more gracefully under load. We are examining the data gathered on the traffic patterns we experienced and are making the necessary changes to deploy Whois-RWS the near future. We thank you for your patience, and we look forward to making the Whois-RWS service available for community use very soon. Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technical Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ----- End forwarded message -----
