Well, pardon me for pushing YABI, but anyone w/ an ASN could be set up
to publish accurate data as follows:
dig [ASN].rdi.int. txt
or
dig 226.rdi.int. txt
and then most anyone can get accurate poop (presuming that ISPs will keep
up data they maintain on their own systems better than coordinating an update
on a centralized server... :)
