Hi All, this ist the response of the RIPE Robot to one of our customers after he tried to create a reverse delegation object in the RIPE DB: "The RIPE NCC no longer accepts requests for creation and ammendments of reverse delegations which do not include the registry ID of an existing Local Internet Registry. If you are not a representative of an LIR, you should contact the LIR who assigned you the address space, or your upstream provider..." The customers owns his Provider Independent IP address space and is not able to create this object as he needs to state a reg-id in the request. Now this customers (and others in the past) claim that they have to apply to there upstream provider in order that this ISP creates the object. The customer certainly has is own maintainer. My question now: Should Provider Indepent IP space not be 100% Provider Indepent in concern to its administration in the RIPE DB? In my opinion the RIPE Robot should distinguish between PA and PI space and not request an reg-id for customers that own PI space and like to create a reverse delegation record.
