Thanks. Yeah I’ve done Maxmind earlier today, and that’s definitely one to do first if you’re updating them individually.
I’ve just become aware of something called a “Geofeed”. Apparently you put a URL into a remark attribute of an IRR. It looks like this: Geofeed https://your-url.com/geofeed.csv Then the csv file contains IP blocks + location info. Supposedly most of these geolocation people search the RIR automatically looking for that “Geofeed” keyword and they’ll grab your updates automatically from the csv. I never heard of this until today, but it sounds like the right way to fly.

You can get them to update their databases and a lot of 3rd parties use their lists. It'll propagate.

I just got a new IP block and I’m getting conflicting results. The same IP is said to be in Manhattan, Cleveland, Dallas, DC, and Salt Lake depending which geolocation service you check. It’s bizarre. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY This communication, including any attachments, is intended only for the use of the addressee(s) to this email and is confidential.
