I use the RIPE DB a LOT to look up who people are. And that's most definately not for marketing purposes, but to solve problems of my customers, or remote ones. It's a far better idea to use DNS for marketing issues than the RIPE DB. > The idea is that only the provider and RIPE(and of course the customer > itself) knows the individual assignments.

I think the turn around time would be too long and it also makes it a lot more difficult tracking someone down if you want to block all connections from a specific allocation. It's most definately not all ISP's who replies to, even urgent, mail within a week.. if at all. -- Robert Martin-Legène (RM59), Network Manager (AS2109) main(){int a[2],b[2];pipe(a);pipe(b);if(fork()){dup2(a[0],0);dup2(b[1],1) ;}else{dup2(b[0],0);dup2(a[1],1);write(1,"R",1);}execlp("cat","cat",0);}
