I guess there are not many LIRs doing this today (except us).
You're not alone :) Good.
The drawback with this solution is that we have to download the whole inetnum db (12,5Mb) and extract all our inetnums.
Why does
whois -M <your allocation block>
or
whois -i mnt-by <your inetnum maintainer>
not work for you?
It does :-) I just thought getting a small compressed file with ftp would be better if many LIRs started to do this. Perhaps someone from the DBM group can comment on this ?
From the performance point of view the two approaches seem to be almost
the same. There should not be many cases when this extracted information could be re-used which may benefit the performance. Unless you have in mind some easy-to-use tool for LIR (with web interface, options, etc.)
