Hi Ronald You are mistaken :) The query string can be a single IP address or CIDR or a range. And the range doesn't even need to be an exact matching range. So if you search for: x.y.0.0 - x.y.0.100 and the actual object in the database is: x.y.0.0 - x.y.0.255 it will still return this database object. As long as the search string is encompassed by the actual object. cheersdenis co-chair DB-WG On Thursday, 1 October 2020, 04:42:38 CEST, Ronald F.

Let me give some background on this. Objects in the database are accessed b= y their primary key (pkey). In the case of an INETNUM object, for instance,= this is an address range...
Actually, not to quibble or anything, but unless I'm mistaken, the query string has to be either a single IP address or a single CIDR. I only mention this because some allocations are what I would call "funny", i.e. they are not expressible as a single CIDR. Regards, rfg
