So please tell me why do you think that these changes should be made, it seems to be fine to me. Looks it was too late, made a few copy/paste mistakes, sorry and thanks for re-verifying. So just the following is what I need to claim here: > 2001:0000::/23 IANA Well, "whois -h whois.iana.org 2001:0000::1" returns nothing usable. I don't know how to handle that, maybe just ignore and keep how it is until IANA fixes their whois server somewhen. > 2001:3C00::/22 RESERVED "whois -h whois.ripe.net 2001:3C00::0" returns non-usable stuff while a "whois -h whois.arin.net 2001:3C00::0" returns, that IANA is currently responsible and the address block is reserved for possible future use at RIPE. If setting that whois server, we should maybe make a comment in the configuration file as "not correct, but shows better information" or so. > 2002:0000::/16 6to4 A regular whois to that IP space returns nothing usable. Maybe we should use "whois -h whois.arin.net 2002:0000::0" which shows the correct information. So if setting that whois server, we should maybe make a comment in the configuration file as "not correct, but shows better information". Former I suggested to use "whois.ripe.net", but the output of "whois.arin.net" seems to be much more useful to me. In the end we could skip the first two if you disagree with my second suggestion, but the third (6to4) should really get a meaningful whois, as these IPv6 addresses can be used already. Better ideas? |
