How hard could it be to maintain a mirror or something close to a mirror? I'm willing to donate a box and a few hours a week. Email me off list with your input and I'll post the results. -Jason
In the meantime, the members of NANOG have to keep the Net working in spite of NSI foulups. Figure out how to live with NSI or figure out how to work around NSI. But don't bitch about NSI in this forum because it won't do any good. The sooner everyone accepts this reality, the better off everyone will be.
That's the bottom line, plain and simple.

A mirror would help if the primary server was unreachable. The problem being reported NOW is the spewage of data that claims to be correct. Unless you run your mirror in a "pull, wait 8 hours for verification, and THEN commit" mode, the mirror will be spewing the same broken data. Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech

According to the miles of legalese on either end of the WHOIS data, such a mirror would be illegal. Whether that's actually enforcable or not is something I don't feel qualified to try and debate with the lawyers who appear to be running NSI. ---------========== J.D.
