I'm in the process of requesting our own address space from ARIN so that= we can gain some independece from upstream providers as well as set up som= e redundant backbones with multiple carriers etc.  We meet the qualifi= cations set forth by ARIN so I'm going about filling out the forms.  O= ne thing that is mentioned is you can use either SWIP or Rwhois to provide = utilization information for your current address space to ARIN.  Alway= s being up for a new learning experience, I installed the rwhois daemon and= am currently reading through it's docs.

 

I'm just wonder= ing if anyone on the list has been through this process before and can offe= r advice, etc.  Am I wasting my time with an rwhois server, is there a= better way to go about this, an pitfalls I should watch out for...?

=  

And of course to justify my question I have installed rwhois o= n a freebsd box ;).
