Thanks for your access file Pat!! Your list was great help. I wanted to let you know how I'm handling this as it may be of some help.
Some quick info: The access file you sent me with blocked IPs had some class B's blocked. I had to double check each of them to make sure they didn't block any of the asian countries I unfortunetly have to deal with. It seems MANY (and I mean LOTS) belong to APNIC (asian pacific network information center) I'm blocking class C's on this network until I'm sure I don't deal with anyone using there network for business. Also another majority of the IP addresses are from RIPE registered in Amsterdam.
Ummm...perhaps you should learn a little more about APNIC: <http://www.apnic.org/info/about.html>
If you are doing lookups with whois.internic.net , any IP address that is allocated by another organization will result in that governing organization. It doesn't mean that the organization is the host.
All of the Asia-Pacific region seeks allocation from APNIC. If your initial lookup results in "APNIC", then use whois.apnic.net
For European allocations, use whois.ripe.net
Course, when you think about it, all of my LAN users belong to that damn IANA company. A few years back, I sent a scathing e-mail to somebody with offices at USC. He politely explained that I was looking up an address from restricted address space.
Live and learn. :)
