I always assumed that they are quickly updated. Note, ARIN is an RIR, a regional internet registry, which is what I presume you meant there. Nevertheless, while it might be worth a try from a research perspective, it may be a bit risky in a production environment. In addition, someone may announce a more specific so keep that scenario in mind. The CIDR Report monitors RIR allocation data. This may be of interest to you: <http://www.cidr-report.org/bogons/rir-data.html> You can get access to that allocation data as noted here: <https://www.arin.net/knowledge/statistics/rir.html> John
