Dear Christian,
I found this:

Dear Julia and Ralf, thanks and: OH NO :-( Question: Who else would be of the humble opinion that whois.arin.net should be probably as clever to find also "AS11042" not only "11042" ? Cheers Christian

I definitely second this. But then, since when does anything coming from the InterNIC/ARIN database make much sense? If all databases in the world were as useful as RIPE and RAdb...

I aggree strongly with Christian! I also think that at least official Internet Registries should be able to fetch information from their databases if the information is not found from the first database! Regards, Jarmo

We are working on that problem. It is harder than you think and the problems are not all technical. But since all registries need to do serious imnplementation work soon there is hope. Daniel
