Thread: Call for Community Consultation - Lame Delegation Information in WHOIS




Call for Community Consultation - Lame Delegation Information in WHOIS

ARIN received a suggestion (2007.29) "that ARIN
implement 
lame-delegation policy on a per-zone basis and not the
per-network basis 
as described in the message. I am not making the request to
"do" it, but 
to open this up for discussion as this change means that
ARIN would have 
to do per-zone management."

The complete suggestion can be viewed at:
htt
p://www.arin.net/acsp/suggestions/2007-29.html

As a result, ARIN would like to solicit input on how reverse
delegation 
information should be displayed on network blocks within
WHOIS. 
Currently, only the network block information is displayed
and not any 
actual delegations within in-addr.arpa. For example, a /19
has 32 actual 
delegations. If one particular delegation (e.g. a /24) is
marked as 
being lame out of a larger block (e.g. a /19), two issues
arise:

1) Is it necessary to indicate which delegations are lame
within the 
network block within WHOIS?
2) If yes, how should this information be displayed in
WHOIS?

Please submit your response to the consultarin.net.

should take regarding the subject.
