So it goes from a few hundred MB's to a few GBs? What's the big deal. Given a trivial CustomerDB, in an RDBMS, it's still under 100 GB for a few million IPs. 150 GB of RAID5 is still less than $30KUS and dropping daily, even on HP (High Priced <grin>) equipment.
It seemed to be a lot, to me. Of course, if you had every single IPv4 address SWIP'd, that'd be 4,294,967,296 records multiplied by the size of the record, but not every IP is going to be SWIP'd. I don't know what it would require in terms of human processing time, if any. -- Steve Sobol [sjsobol@nacs.net] Part-time Support Droid [support@nacs.net] NACS Spaminator [abuse@nacs.net] Spotted on a bumper sticker: "Possum.
