Btw, RADB and RIPE problem is the fact this data bases was not designed
to build such lists. Try to extract PREFIX list for AS-DEMOS macro from
RIPE - it take you about 30 - 40 minutes and you should doing all
recursions yourself. Then try to build complex filter.
RADB abd RIPE are doing good work, but they should be improved to make
this _LIST EXTRACTION_ be easy operation (whois -h whois.ripe.net
PREFIX-LIST:AS-RELCOM+AS-DEMOS-AS2555 -> 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 ... EOF -
fast answer). And more and more people use this data bases.
And it's bad idea to have SINGLE data base. You have a chance to get new
INTERNIC -:).
