According to the doc, it relies on RADB for its info, so it *might* not be as accurate as an actual BGP feed.

Indeed. That's why we've created "RISwhois" [1], a whois interface to the BGP data collected by RIPE NCC's RIS project [2]. You query riswhois.ripe.net like you'd query whois.ra.net, but the data returned are from active BGP feeds, not manually registered objects. Since RISwhois uses the same format as RADB, it's trivial to have lft consult the RIS BGP tables: simply replace the string "whois.ra.net" by "riswhois.ripe.net" in the whois.c file and recompile. -- Rene [1] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/presentations/ripe47-eof-riswhois....
