Thanks Chris. That is what I assumed as well. Some automatic route object registration went awry. Was hoping someone from Qwest/CenturyLink would jump in and fix it as many of the GEOIP databases automated tools use descr field. No further comment required. It was just peeving me a bit so figured I would send something out on it. -jason On 3/6/14, 5:05 AM, "Christopher Morrow" <morrowc.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

All, I haven¹t posted something to Nanog in probably 10 years so forgive my ignorance on protocol. I am sure this has been posted about but while I figure out how to search the archivesŠ.
I see Ripe DB, Maxmind and many others have AS209 associated with the company Novartis. Did I miss something because ARIN whois shows it different. If this is wrong, it seems the source of the error is db.ripe.net.
