[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] inet6num missing for allocation - more?
Hi, 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"? :-) Best regards, Daniel

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.

Indeed, I'm wearing the brown paper bag on my head.

Hm, shouldn't there be a inet6nums as placeholder for the ARIN ranges? Like in v4 world? This is why I didn't notice the ARIN ownership in the first place... Thanks for your quick response... I just wanted to write a reply to myself. :-/ Best regards, Daniel
