Scale better from the point of view that the closer you get to the actual source, the better. With the delegation of CIDR blocks to NSPs comes the responsiblity to keep accurate data on assignment and sub-delegation. We can all send in updates to a centralized service (Internic/Merit/RIPE/ APNIC) and then compete for cycles (yesterday the InterNic was not available due to load for about 2 hours, I have had problems with PRDB access due to merit.edu availablity) or we can distribute like DNS does. I think the rWhois is a win. -- Regards, Bill Manning
