Hi David, thank you for the in-depth answer!

I personally would also find this annoying and quite a bit unintuitive. ;) I *DO* like the granularity but I don't think it outweighs having all of that pushed to a single object instead of having multiple abuse-c's that are probably managed by different maintainers (giving customers the opportunity to manage their own abuse-c object). Also I would image this would necessitate quite a bit of special parsing in the database software. > B) Allow abuse handler to be added directly on the > Inet(6)num/Aut-num entries in the DB. This is what I would prefer right now. It is low cost to implement, it is easy to parse (use abuse-c: if available, else go to the organisation abuse-c). > I am not quite having any other ideas on how to proceed that would > fit within the current RIPE DB rules...route objects pop to mind, > but would also have their quirks. I would prefer to have option B) right now. *If* we need more granularity it would probably need to be a full fledged (meaning: more complicated) solution. I imagine a new object-type that can be a CIDR less-or-equal your allocation/assignment that references a abuse contact (which would bring in all sort of questions regarding authorization etc.) or an inet(6)num: with special type ABUSE-CONTACT (or something else). I think that this is a special case that probably not many people have use for. Right now having abuse-c at inet(6)nums would ease the pain for quite a few people.
