Another complication might be that we still want to have a 'country:' attribute defined for the registry object that will suffer the same problems we have with the inetnum objects. I think it is best to first think about the 'country:' attribute and then, for the longer term see if we can fetch the whole thing into a registry object. But don't get me wrong, I like the idea and the design work might turn out as very useful since we will need a registry object anyway some time in the future, Kind regards, David Kessens ----- > > Example: > > inetnum: 193.0.0.0 - 193.255.255.255 > country: RIPE > > will be modified when entering the DB to > > inetnum: 193.0.0.0 - 193.255.255.255 > registry: RIPE > > inetnum: 193.170.16.0 > registry: at.aconet > > Pros: > > Solves the problem completely, is politically correct, easy (?) to implement > > Cons: > > will break applications which query for the "country" attribute, are > there any ?
