Unfortunately the ARIN database is too broken to permit queries like "tell me everything inside 2001:500::/32" (the RIPE and APNIC databases do this just fine). So you'll have to check them manually - tedious - or check
Currently ARIN WHOIS does not support CIDR queries. However, the information you desire can be obtain. The best way to get this, would be to query the following:
[ query for '2001:0500:*' ] While "*" wildcards are somewhat counterintuitive in IP context, I'm glad to learn that there *is* a way to get the data. Others have pointed out to me that by querying the RIPE database for mirrored ARIN data whois -h whois.ripe.net -s arin -M -r 2001:500::/32 (with or without "-r") the data can be obtained as well.

More information on how to use the ARIN WHOIS can be found in a tutorial locate at: http://www.arin.net/library/training/WHOIS_CBT/whois.htm
Thanks. (ObNag: I still don't understand why ARIN just needs to do everything differently. Just using the RIPE output and query format would be so much easier than inventing every wheel anew. But then, I don't know all of the political background struggles...)
