I don't need to use it much, but when I do, it's an ever-increasing =
royal pain in the ass.
My current plight revolves around not being able to get full dumps of =
objects. Certain mandatory fields in objects are 'filtered' and/or =
replaced with dummy data. This poses a problem because one can no =
longer simply cut and paste the output, change the necessary bits and =
fire it off to rr@arin.net for processing. WhoisRWS doesn't seem to =
have hooks into the IRR database like RIPE seems to have gotten right.
So how do people tend to get around this? Is there something that I'm =
missing or do people just throw their hands up and move their IRR data =
to RADB or something?=
