NISN is NASA's ISP and as such announce via AS297 that > address space. ARIN shows some rather outdated information for some NASA blocks. For example, 192.112.230.0/24 still has area code 205 and lists an email address with a server that no longer exists. The info listed for 192.112.220.0/22 & 192.112.224.0/20 lists "[email protected]" for the tech contact. When doing work like this, people are not likely to look in BGP to find the AS announcing a block and then contact that AS; many ISPs announce blocks on behalf of their customers and are not necessarily interested in hearing that a customer has a bogus bogon list. This isn't meant to be a pick on you (we've got some SWIPs filed incorrectly that we are working on). I've just run into more and more cases where ARIN (or other RIR, but I'm typically interested in ARIN info) info is out of date. Maybe ARIN should periodically send an "are you there" type email to contacts (like some mailing lists do). If that fails, mail a letter with instructions on how to update your contact info, and if that fails, delete the invalid contact info - I'd rather see no contact info than bogus info. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
