If you are looking for what blocks have been allocated to ARIN by IANA, the file is maintained on the IANA site: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ If you're referring to the IP space ARIN has issued out, I don't know if there is a single authoritative text list (at least I couldn't find one quickly). There is a mailing list maintained by ARIN that tracks daily issued blocks, but it appears to have archives going back only to late 2k8: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-issued Steve
