Thanks for your reply Jay. You're quite right. It would have been better to say npa/nxx is a "relatively" evenly distributed keyspace. To answer your question specifically, no, I have not done a distribution analysys (though it would be interesting). The point I was trying to make is that a serial list of all active unique 'npanxx' strings in the NANP would be an easier keyspace to index than the other 'organic' keyspaces that databases often have to work with, (such as the customer name index)
