As a matter of corporate politics. I didn't say they need to use it, only that they ought understand it, know what it is, and know how to use it. I make no comment on what to do with, or whether to use that knowledge. and I certainly wouldn't advocate depending on the RADB for anything. I merely advocate non-ignorance. --jeff

As someone who's needing to ramp up on this (I have a few months still) what are some of the better pointers to web sites, FAQs, and whatnot dealing with the RADB (other than www.merit.edu/radb). Or some sort of discussion here on how Real Live Clued Operators (tm) use/abuse routing registries and why. It's an excellent way to dispel ignorance... ;) Thanks, Charles
