Hello all,

We’re a web-hoster with our own network and are a member of RIPE etc. So far in we have an abuse mailbox listed in the remarks of each of our inetnum objects, which has worked well for us so far.

However, I notice that there is also an abuse-mailbox attribute associated with the IRT object, which can in turn be referenced from an inetnum object with the mnt-irt attribute.

Does anyone here use the IRT objects? Is this something we should be doing also, or instead of writing the abuse email address in a remark? I read in an old thread in the archives that the “whois -c” option which is supposed to look up the associated IRT object doesn’t work yet, although that might have changed by now.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Colin
