When I was at $LARGE_PROVIDER, I was working on a project to port all of the customer IP information over to route-objects for precicely this purpose: the goal was that customers would be able to update their filters automatically (and get rWHOIS for free - simplifying additional ARIN allocation requests). Sadly for that project, after I left, the little Ultra 5 was abandoned, and AFAIK is still sitting in my old lab, unused - and after the most recent (quarterly) staff-bloodletting, there certainly won't be resources to devote to a project like that. Sigh. ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
