Hi,

So to extend this further, you assign a class of IPs to a customer and register it to them in the RIPE database. Do you assign it to the customers address, in Estonia , or use the DC Address which is in Germany? Which could be the basis of geolocalizing the Address. I would not want to be the lawyer on either side of the battle. Brian
