No he's not. He's complaining that sometime in the past few weeks (or is it months now?) ARIN changed the behavior of their whois server. New output for the query 209.208.0.1 is (omitting comments): Internet Connect Company, Inc. ICC-1 (NET-209-208-0-0-1) 209.208.0.0 - 209.208.127.255 American Registry for Internet Numbers NET209 (NET-209-0-0-0-0) 209.0.0.0 - 209.255.255.255 The old behavior was that ARIN's whois server would respond with the data from NET-209-208-0-0-1. i.e. NetRange: 209.208.0.0 - 209.208.127.255 CIDR: 209.208.0.0/17 OriginAS: NetName: ICC-1 NetHandle: NET-209-208-0-0-1 Parent: NET-209-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Allocation ... This is rather an annoying change for anyone who uses whois much as it means every ARIN query is now at least two queries and there are doubtless scripts in use to grab information from whois that broke as a result of this change. NANOG isn't the place to complain about this though. Perhaps PPML is closer to the right place.
Thank you for confirming the problem. I'll try your PPML @ ARIN suggestion. -- With best regards, Paul, England, EU.
