Please set up a pingable IP address for each new netblock and post it to NANOG with a request to have us ping it. It's not automated, but it's a good start.

Has anybody attempted to do this? It is worth bothering? Currently I'm considering pulling out all the endpoint ASs out of the BGP table, finding at least one subnet for each of them and attempting to ping or reach other common ports on a single IP for each AS from our currently working address space, and then the new address space and comparing results. -- Regards, Oliver Hookins Anchor Systems
