Hi, 

This is your friendly anti spam service with another update.

As you might recall, in our last announcement we requested your support in

the form of more public name servers. The response has been overwhelming,

and we now have a lot more horsepower answering queries. Thanks guys, we 
really appreciate it. Most of the new name servers are located in the US
and 
in Europe, which leaves us pretty much without any Australian/Asian name 
servers. So, again, if you are in a position to offer name services to us
in 
that part of the world, please drop us a line at secondaries[at]ordb.org.

On a related note, we are still interested in hearing from you if you 
experience performance issues related to queries against the
relays.ORDB.org 
zone.

As has become tradition, most of the people that constitute ORDB.org will
be 
meeting up at some point in the near future to work on the database. The
main 
areas of focus will be: internal documentation and translations.

Finally, there has been some discussion internally as to whether we should

start work on an open proxy list. Integrating an open proxy detector into
our 
current distributed setup is not entirely trivial, but should be doable. 
However, before we start throwing working hours at it, we would like 
your opinion on the matter. Statements are welcome at
http://ordb.org/contact 
(select "something else" in the drop-down).

That's pretty much it. 

Have a nice day.

PS. As always, we welcome donations at http://ordb.org/donate/
