Up until recently, we were only providing the RIR database with
information about our larger allocations /24 or larger. We have noticed however
that many anti-spam organizations such as Spamhaus, and Fiveten will use the
lack of information regarding an IP allocation as a blank check to blacklist
entire /24s when they are really targeting a single /30 or a /29. As such we
are examining publishing information for all allocations in the RIR database
(/30s, /29s, etc). My question, mostly is related to the privacy of the
customer whom the space is being allocated to. Has anyone ever had an issue
where they have published a user's information and the user had an issue with
it? Is there some way that we can 'proxy' the information so that it simply
states that the /29 has been allocated to a customer but it doesn't provide
their contact information?
Most of our customers are co-location and dedicated hosting customers
and we are simply unsure whether or not there are implications (legal or
otherwise) in publishing our customer data in a public RIR database.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
Thanks,
