Hi, some strange question: we need a complete list of assigned IP-Addresses in the european part of ripe region sort by country for a customer. Is there any chance to get it per whois/some application or do we buy some part of whois-db from ripe? The background is that a Online-Service needs this part of information to display the right website (on his top-level Webserver wich are reached by every online user first) for every user by his language. We are grateful for each assistance. Kind regards, _____________________________ Stephan Mankopf Networks/Backbone +49 5241 80 88729 stephan.mankopf@mediaways.net

Wouldn't it be much easier to just use the language setting of the user's browser? I think this even makes MUCH more sense than assuming just because a user is in, say, Denmark, doesn't mean he would prefer danish....

yes of course, but the Online-Service is worldwide and there are several countries where English or spanish is spoken (as an Example). Every site includes state-specific informations.

If there is no better solution for you then retrieving country code information from the inetnum objects, I would suggest that you write to <ripe-dbm@ripe.net> to discuss this problem. Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky DB Group Manager RIPE NCC

Hi,
Hi,
some strange question: we need a complete list of assigned IP-Addresses in the european part of ripe region sort by country for a customer. Is there any chance to get it per whois/some application or do we buy some part of whois-db from ripe?
actually this is not very difficult task - you can write a script which will make a whois on all /24 netblocks from RIPE allocated space (if I am not mistaken, there are about 200 000 such netblocks - it could take some days, not more). You probably do not need to query smaller netblocks because AFAIK blocks inside one /24 block are not delegated to different countries. Then after simple sorting by "country" field you get your database (but see below)
The background is that a Online-Service needs this part of information to display the right website (on his top-level Webserver wich are reached by every online user first) for every user by his language.
If this is the only need of your client - then it will be better to write simple script which analises headers sent by browser when requesting a homepage - there are header "Accept-language" which allows you ho decide what is the user's language priority. Also please note that localized browsers very often set that "Accept-language" to the language of operating system. Regards, Vitaly Osipov
We are grateful for each assistance.

Ugh. Just do "whois -r -M 192.0.0.0/8" and process that, instead of overloading the RIPE server with n times 2^16 queries... Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- SpaceNet GmbH Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299

I doubt it will reply anytime soon for such a request - it has some prioritizing of task etc... and anyway you should ask for 193.0.0.0/8, 194.0.0.0/8, 195.0.0.0/8, 163.something/xx and small part of 192.0.0.0/8 Vitaly.

Salaam, You can get the address space allocated to Local Internet Registries from - http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html for Pv4 Allocations - http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs6.html for IPv6 Allocations this list is updated daily. Every record is in the format as X-NCC-RegID, for example: sa.faisaliah (AL Faisaliah Internet Services & Technology) 19990518 212.93.192/19 ALLOCATED PA You can retrieve this file daily and make a search on it.
