Very welcome,
Thanks for this Dani it gives everyone much more breathing space.
I think this a fantastic effort on behalf of the NCC, the folks at eu.net
and anyone else involved, they should all be applauded for it.
A few logistical questions that may be relevant to those affected.
Is there a projected time when this service may be discontinued?
I can imagine that the RIPE NCC doesn't want to indefinitely run secondary
for end sites?
If not:
This is in the same AS as ns.ripe.net. Is it also physically on the same
infrastructure?
What I guess I'm asking is: To what extent do those using both ns.ripe.net
and ns.eu.net have redundancy between the two servers?
