If some people are concerned about having another object returned in a default query, there is a way round this. We could reverse the -c flag in the query. So the logic behind the -c flag returns an irt object. If -c is not used in an inet(6)num query, the server adds it. Then any irt object is returned by default in these queries. If -c is used in a query, on its own, the server takes it out. So by using -c you do not get the irt object. The benefit of this is that clueless users will get irt objects as a default. This sounds very useful to me (and I think it reflects what was agreed upon, in Manchester, IIRC).
No, after Manchester the agreement was to return the irt record relevant to the queried ip/network. This is subtly different from the behaviour of -c, which may return a less specific inetnum object if the irt record is referenced by it. -- ciao, Marco
