sorry. it is not you, it is the arin database (personally, all the rir databases suck, they just suck differently:-). what the arin database considers to be an organization does not correspond to what you consider one, z/s aside. e.g. check how many 'goog's you find. randy _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
