Support for recursive expansion of as-set to a list of ASNs
Dear DB-WG, Now that the new database backend is in place, this should allow for awesome features such as server sided recursion of AS-SETs into a list of ASNs. Implementing IRRd's !i flag will prevent a lot of back and forth communication between whois server and client to provide the client with a full list of ASNs which are part of an AS-SET. Clients such as bgpq3 support this flag. I've filed an enhancement request on github: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/issues/72 But we could use this thread to assess community support and gather a sense of priority. Kind regards, Job

Kaveh said last december that the db people were going to take a look at both this and the as-set -> prefix set issue. Nick

This looks like a very good idea. I think we should put both your requests on the "priority list". Regards, Piotr -- gucio -> Piotr Strzyżewski E-mail: Piotr.Strzyzewski@polsl.pl
