I've just noticed, that the allocation 2001:478::/32 is not registered in the RIPE DB:
$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -r 2001:478::/32 | fgrep inet6num: inet6num: 0::/0
Could RIPE check wether this problem does exist for other allocations too? Or is EP.NET "special"? :-)
This /32 appears to come from 2001:0400::/23 which is allocated to ARIN. You can query the ARIN database directly to see contact information for EP.NET. However, you can also find basic contact information (and the fact that the block is allocated) by querying the RIPE database using the -a flag: $ whois -h whois.ripe.net -a 2001:478::/32 This gives you information from all the databases mirrored by whois.ripe.net.
