So ARIN can spend about one /19 registration fee on a server to send over to one of the other registries, and can run a mirror server at that remote location. They'd use SSH/scp so as to be sure nobody from the other registry sniffed their packets and stole the secrets of their software. Maybe I'm missing something...it just doesn't seem like rocket science to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | http://noagent.com/?jl1 for cheap Network Administrator | life insurance over the net.
