Hi David, maybe there is another solution: migrate the "country" attribute to a "registry" attribute which should hold the responsible registry name Example: inetnum: 193.0.0.0 - 193.255.255.255 country: RIPE will be modified when entering the DB to inetnum: 193.0.0.0 - 193.255.255.255 registry: RIPE inetnum: 193.170.16.0 registry: at.aconet Pros: Solves the problem completely, is politically correct, easy (?) to implement Cons: will break applications which query for the "country" attribute, are there any ? Alternatively you might add the "registry" attribute and obsolte the country attribute.
