Re: KPNQwest ns.eu.net server.

[John L Crain <crain () icann org>]

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?
