Dear NCC people, I think that too strict sintax checking is applied in the case of the dom-net database field. An example follows. We are deploying technology to obsolete networks classes (A,B,C,...) and at the same time the RIPE database checking rules do not take into account the actual usage of dear old subnetworks? In practice very often a number of subnetworks of a class B network are used to host machines in a domain while other subnetworks are used to host machines of a different domain. This is common for large networks in a city. We would like the checking rules to be relaxed in this case. Could you please do that? ---------- ---------- Antonio_Blasco Bonito E-Mail: bonito@nis.garr.it GARR - Network Information Service c=it;a=garr;p=garr;o=nis;s=bonito c/o CNUCE - Istituto del CNR Tel: +39 (50) 593246 Via S.
