It has. Unique nic-handles can be registered only once, after deletion the nic-hanlde can't be used.
Is there a way to determine an available number ? Some time ago RIPN added number to nic-hdl automatically. Could such metod to be implemented in ripe-dbm@ robot ?
AUTO-1<Initials>? 16:16:19 [yz@yz][~]> ripe-whois -v person | sed -En '/^nic-hdl$/,/^[a-z]/p' nic-hdl Specifies the NIC handle of a role or person object. When creating an object, one can also specify an "AUTO" NIC handle by setting the value of the attribute to "AUTO-1" or AUTO-1<Initials>. In such case the database will assign the NIC handle automatically. From 2 to 4 characters optionally followed by up to 5 digits optionally followed by a source specification. The first digit must not be "0". Source specification starts with "-" followed by source name up to 9-character length. -- George L. Yermulnik [YZ-RIPE]
