Novartis and Qwest AS209

[Jmac]

All, I haven¹t posted something to Nanog in probably 10 years so forgive my
ignorance on protocol.  I am sure this has been posted about but while I
figure out how to search the archivesŠ.

I see Ripe DB, Maxmind and many others have AS209 associated with the
company Novartis.  Did I miss something because ARIN whois shows it
different.  If this is wrong, it seems the source of the error is
db.ripe.net.

aut-num: AS209
 
as-name: ASN-QWEST-US
descr:   NOVARTIS-DMZ-US
admin-c: NOVN1-RIPE
 
tech-c:  NOVN2-RIPE
 
mnt-by:  NOVARTIS-MNT
 
source:  RIPE # Filtered

Thanks
Jason

Thanks Chris.  That is what I assumed as well. Some automatic route object
registration went awry.  Was hoping someone from Qwest/CenturyLink would
jump in and fix it as many of the GEOIP databases automated tools use
descr field.

No further comment required.  It was just peeving me a bit so figured I
would send something out on it.
