When trying to determine a country code for 200.150.7.132, I first tried ARIN which pointed me to LACNIC - whois.lacnic.net: inetnum: 200.128/9 status: allocated owner: Comite Gestor da Internet no Brasil ownerid: BR-CGIN-LACNIC responsible: Frederico A C Neves address: Av. das Naחץes Unidas, 11541, 7° andar address: 04578-000 - Sדo Paulo - SP country: BR phone: +55 11 9119-0304 [] owner-c: CGB tech-c: CGB inetrev: 200.128/9 nserver: NS.DNS.BR nsstat: 20031015 AA nslastaa: 20031015 nserver: NS1.DNS.BR nsstat: 20031015 AA nslastaa: 20031015 nserver: NS2.DNS.BR nsstat: 20031015 AA nslastaa: 20031015 remarks: These addresses have been further assigned to Brazilian users. remarks: Contact information can be found at the WHOIS server located remarks: at whois.registro.br and at http://whois.nic.br So off to whois.nic.br: inetnum: 200.150.7/24 aut-num: AS23106 abuse-c: RBS151 owner: COMPANHIA ENERGETICA DE MINAS GERAIS ownerid: 017.155.730/0001-64 responsible: Marcus Vinicius da Silva address: Av Barbacena, 1200, 3 Andar address: 30190-131 - Belo Horizonte - MG phone: (031) 349-4469 [] owner-c: MVS9 tech-c: MVS9 inetrev: 200.150.7/24 nserver: OUTCEMIG1.CEMIG.COM.BR nsstat: 20031018 AA nslastaa: 20031018 nserver: OUTCEMIG2.CEMIG.COM.BR nsstat: 20031018 AA nslastaa: 20031018 created: 20020621 changed: 20020621 inetnum-up: 200.150.0/19 Does anyone know what standard is being used here? It looks like RIPE format but very modified. What bothers me is not the additional tags but rather that an automated script would not be able to determine country from their response. Thanks, -Hank
