I've personally been flamed for sending a simple "Hey, I can't get a hold of someone at <insert provider here> using whois contact info. Could someone from the provider or someone who has contact information for the provider e-mail me?"
Well, pardon me for pushing YABI, but anyone w/ an ASN could be set up to publish accurate data as follows: dig [ASN].rdi.int. txt or dig 226.rdi.int. txt and then most anyone can get accurate poop (presuming that ISPs will keep up data they maintain on their own systems better than coordinating an update on a centralized server... :) --bill
