Due diligence with SWIP/rwhois only means that one customer is well
documented apart from another. As this thread has highlighted, some
people filter/block based on random variables: the covering /24, the
covering aggregate announcement, and/or arbitrary bit lengths. If a
particular server is within the scope of what someone decides to
filter/block, it gets filtered or blocked. Good SWIPs/rwhois entries
don't mean jack to those admins.
