How would you feel about ARIN being the root of a registry hierarchy that
works similar to the DNS? In that case, ARIN would not necessarily hold
the route information, they would just be at the top of the search
hierarchy just like the root name servers are at the top of the DNS
hierarchy. ARIN would authoritatively identify the leaseholder of an
address block and give you a pointer to that leaseholder's LDAP server
where you could query for whatever info they have available.
So how are you going to reach the leaseholder's LDAP server if you're in the middle of checking their prefix to see if it's worthy of being included in your routing table?
