A day or so ago I happened to discover that my class C was listed in rfc-ignorant IPWHOIS. Further investigation showed that all of UUNET was listed and since I was on UUNET I was included.
The reason for the listing has to do with the OrgTech handle (not Tech hangel but OrgTech handle). rfc-ignorant requires that this handle respond to e-mail because it is accessible from a whois report. UUNET however only responds to mail from ARIN on that handle. Apparently the handle was not always visible via whois. At any rate I sent both UUNET and rfc-ignorant a message complaining about the listing. I have to say that both of these organizations have responded to me very rapidly and very professionally. It is very encouraging really to experience that on the Internet when the contrary is normally expected. UUNET says that new rules are being adopted at ARIN shortly which should correct this. They also report that the whole thing occurred because of ARIN rule changes that exposed the OrgTech hanlde in the first place. rfc-ignorant has the range on hold right now but not listed. It is probably not very important to anyone but thought I'd share since I've been involved in the discussion.
