My apologies, I was stuck using a web interface at the time. 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 some redundant backbones with multiple carriers etc. We meet the qualifications set forth by ARIN so I'm going about filling out the forms. One thing that is mentioned is you can use either SWIP or Rwhois to provide utilization information for your current address space to ARIN. Always being up for a new learning experience, I installed the rwhois daemon and am currently reading through it's docs. I'm just wondering if anyone on the list has been through this process before and can offer 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 on a freebsd box ;). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Eric Stanfield, K2Access Keno Kozie Associates 222 N LaSalle #1500 Chicago, IL 60606 (312) 332-3000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
