If each of your customers is a separate business (even if it is an individual) who will be doing much of the management themselves, including handling any abuse complaints for their assigned address space, then you need a bit more setup.
As we said in the implementation plan we are trying to move the RIPE Database in the direction of modelling the real world setup. This may require a little more initial setup, but in the end will be easier for everyone to understand and follow. So if each of your customers is an organisation handling it's own abuse, creating an ORGANISATION object for them as a reference point with an abuse ROLE object, shows they manage resources or have some role within this management. We will provide tools to assist in the setting up of this data. This will simplify your workload and avoid the need for you to enter information twice.
Thank you for your explanation. My "mileage" would prefer a smaller setup without an organisation object, but if this (more) general solution fits more people lets go. Cheers, Tim
