In article <8930.1580963430@segfault.tristatelogic.com> you write:
1800vitamins.org has a web site at 12.180.219.234 which looks like they would sell me vitamins should I or my dog need any.
Routeviews tells me that IP is in AS19111, routed via AS7018. AS7018 is AT&T which isn't surprising for a 12/8 address, but ARIN says AS19111 doesn't exist. Huh?
John you have no idea how many folks are using how many bogon ASNs as we speak. Nobody does. ...
The reason I originally asked about this one is that everything looks entirely legit other than the ASN. It appears that the only reason it is bogus is that the vitamin company isn't very good at remembering to pay its ARIN bill. I get the impression that's fairly common, since the practical penalty for having your ASN fall out of the database is zilch. R's, John
