Which is irrelevent to removing a address block on the basis of a RIR recording that the block has been reallocated. A reallocation already goes through a quarantine period though that may get shorter as time goes on. A transfer on the other hand doesn't. There may be some use in recording whether a address block is transfered or allocated. Note I'm not sure if the allocation date gets updated on a transfer or not. There may be some use in recording when a address block is quarantined. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org
