Operational question: Building filters from IRRdbs

Alex,

Which version of peval do I have to run (3.xxx???) to work
with the production servers? 4.xxx doesn't work with RADB
etc.

Our production server, whois.ra.net/43, is RIPE181 compliant
until the community decides on a final transition date (hopefully
this spring/summer). The ISI version 3.x tools are RIPE181
compliant and version 4.x are RPSL tools exclusively.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

regards,
--jerry

ps Unfortunately, ISI does not default to our server and you must
specifically set a command line flag so the tools can parse
the server output. Check the man page for the correct flag
to select.

What do you mean?

Version 3 defaults to radb.ra.net and the server that runs there, IRRd.
Version 4 defaults to rpsl.merit.edu and the server that runs there,
ripewhoisd.
