I don't know, but I'd like to make a suggestion that most people will just reject, .. but ... 1) If ARIN doesn't provide the level of authentication you desire, as an ARIN member you should send a note to ppml each day until it's available, or make a proposal to improve it. Last time around, it wasn't very exciting for many people. 2) If you DEPEND on something for your business, it may just be "worth it" to: a) pay RADB who operates professionally b) use your ISP provided IRR (eg: NTT, level3, savvis, etc) You are less likely to encounter business issues due to the mirroring/latency etc of RADB -> YourISP or ALTDB -> YourISP if you use them as you have a direct business relationship. They may even prefer their objects over the RADB seen ones. - Jared
