When I was at $LARGE_PROVIDER, I was working on a
project to port all of the customer IP information
over to route-objects for precicely this purpose: the
goal was that customers would be able to update their
filters automatically (and get rWHOIS for free -
simplifying additional ARIN allocation requests).
Sadly for that project, after I left, the little Ultra
5 was abandoned, and AFAIK is still sitting in my old
lab, unused - and after the most recent (quarterly)
staff-bloodletting, there certainly won't be resources
to devote to a project like that. Sigh.
