Of course, there is one little problem with this....
bash$ whois 65 Air Force Logistics Command (ASN-LOGNET) LOGNET-AS 65 IANA (RESERVED-7) Reserved 64.0.0.0 - 95.0.0.0
bash$ whois 96 Army Finance and Accounting Office (ASN-JTELS) JTELS-BEN1-AS 96 IANA (RESERVED-8) Reserved 96.0.0.0 - 126.0.0.0
How did these guys get such big chunks of address space reserved?
IANA: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. The address space is theirs to delegate in the first place. 64/8-126/8 is old Class-A space that is "reserved indefinitely" according to RFC1466 (May '93). // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // mdz@netrail.net sales@netrail.net // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax]
