I don't know, but I'd like to make a suggestion that most people will =
just reject, .. but ...
1) If ARIN doesn't provide the level of authentication you desire, as an =
ARIN member you should send a note to ppml each day until it's =
available, or make a proposal to improve it. Last time around, it =
wasn't very exciting for many people.
2) If you DEPEND on something for your business, it may just be "worth =
it" to:
a) pay RADB who operates professionally
b) use your ISP provided IRR (eg: NTT, level3, savvis, etc)=20
You are less likely to encounter business issues due to the =
mirroring/latency etc of RADB -> YourISP or ALTDB -> YourISP if you use =
them as you have a direct business relationship. They may even prefer =
their objects over the RADB seen ones.
