Hi,
or LDAP could be used ...
I was wondering when this would show up... :-)
If IANA and the RIRs would step up to the plate and provide an authoritative data source identifying which address ranges have been issued for use on the Internet then bogon lists would not be needed at all. ... IANA would be the authoritative source for stuff like RFC 1918 address ranges and other non-RIR ranges.
IANA has a project along these lines at the earliest stage of development (that is, we're trying to figure out if this is a good idea and if so, the best way to implement it). I'd be interested in hearing opinions (either publicly or privately) as to what IANA should do here.
One wonders whether it might not be more effective in the long run to sue ICANN/IANA rather than suing completewhois.com.
Sigh. What is the IOS command to disable lawyers again? Rgds, -drc
