1800vitamins.org has a web site at 12.180.219.234 which looks like
they would sell me vitamins should I or my dog need any.
Routeviews tells me that IP is in AS19111, routed via AS7018. AS7018
is AT&T which isn't surprising for a 12/8 address, but ARIN says
AS19111 doesn't exist. Huh?
John - there is a discrepancy with the registration of AS19111 that ARIN is
working through with the organization that it was originally assigned to on
11/20/2000. Once the discrepancy is corrected then the registration will be
visible in whois. Having worked at several ISPs I would point out that
customers are not normally cut off strictly based on a discrepancy with whois
or any other database. We would usually work with our customers to help correct
the discrepancy without disrupting their business. The other interesting thing
that you pointed out is that the IPs belong to the upstream in this case so
they most likely have a good idea of who is announcing them to their AS. ARIN
always cautions on the side of "not disrupting" business and to help correct
discrepancies and keep the Internet running.
