For your routing convenience:

matt@pants:~$ mysql -e 'select network, mask, owner from routes where
owner="NeoPets";' spam
+---------------+------+---------+
| network       | mask | owner   |

| 198.172.121.0 |   24 | NeoPets |
+---------------+------+---------+

Thank you verio, for returning useful information for
"NETBLK-A019-198-172-121-0", including "NeoPets" as the owner name,
but returning "No match" for a query on "NeoPets".

I am absolutely positive Verio would never aid and conceal customers
of theirs that are guilty of such abusive and criminal behavior.
