I'm querying the community on the feasibility of running my own IRR on behalf of customers whom probably aren't/won't register their own objects. I'm going down this path since I don't believe RADB or ARIN would let me register objects on behalf of my customers.
It doesn't seem like a terribly good reason to want to start a new IRR. I wouldn't expect RADB to mirror. What brought you to the actual conclusion you won't be able to register the customer route objects, after receiving authorization from the customer? Last I checked, on RADB it's technically possible for any paying maintainer to register a route object, as long as it's not already registered under another mnt-by; LEVEL3 and some others have in the past commonly created proxy-registered routes for customers' non-existent routes to facilitate the creation of automatic route filtering policy definitions. And there are some AS objects that also say they are proxy registered in the remarks or description sections... $ whois -h whois.radb.net as32114 aut-num: AS32114 as-name: WalkerMachine descr: This is a Proxy registered AS for Walker Machine by Lumos Networks. .... mnt-by: MAINT-AS7795 ... -- -JH
