The RDAP server for a query is determined using the bootstrap files published by IANA at [data.iana.org/rdap](https://data.iana.org/rdap/). They are downloaded with the first query, cached locally and refreshed automatically once a week. If `data.iana.org` cannot be reached, the cached files are used and the update is retried after an hour (at most 3 times, then with the next weekly update). See [Settings](#settings).
