Finally somebody express the same concerns as ours. I have a discussion with the RIPE staff at the RIPE-38 meeting about this. There are two seperate issues here: 1. The RFC doesn't say a implementation (like RIPE-DB v3.0) should allow foreign references ( using objects from other RR database) or not. 2. The assumption of RIPE-DB v3.0 is that all object references have to be resloved locally( ie. with source: RIPE). The 2nd issue means if any ISP with ARIN's AS number want to register a route with RIPE you have to register your PN(person) then your MT(mntner) then your AN(aut-num) with RIPE first. So each ISP has to maintain a different set of objects with each RR. AS123(in RIPE) -> MNT-AS123-RIPE -> NIC456-RIPE AS123(in ARIN) -> MNT-AS123-ARIN -> NIC456-ARIN AS123(in APNIC) -> MNT-AS123-APNIC -> NIC456-APNIC AS123(in JP) -> MNT-AS123-JP -> NIC456-JP AS123(in DE) -> MNT-AS123-DE -> NIC456-DE .... Just to remember to update all these information everytime there is a little tiny change. It is fun, isn't it ? And NO you can't get all route information from just one RR unless we all sit down and seriously talking about the GLOBAL issues.
