We also took liberty to make some modifications to the original proposal (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/db-wg/20010701-20020101/msg00036.html). Namely: - an "irt-nfy:" attribute is now optional/multiple/inevrse key in the irt object. It specifies an e-mail address used to send notifications whenever a reference to the object is added or removed. We thought it would be very useful from security prospective. - a name of an irt object should start with "IRT-" prefix reserved for this type of object. This will eliminate possible confusion, such as mixing up with mntner. We have created some object to play with: irt: IRT-TEST inetnum: 172.18.0.0 - 172.25.255.255 So you may try: $ whois -h test-whois IRT-TEST $ whois -h test-whois -i mnt-irt IRT-TEST $ whois -h test-whois -i irt-nfy bitbucket@ripe.net $ whois -h test-whois 172.18.10.1 $ whois -h test-whois -c 172.18.10.1 The irt objects are not created automatically, but are forwarded to RIPE Database Administration (ripe-dbm@ripe.net). But this restriction does not apply to the TEST database, so you may try to create one yourself. Have a nice weekend, Regards, Andrei Robachevsky DB Group Manager RIPE NCC
