Indeed. That's why we've created "RISwhois" [1], a whois interface to the BGP data collected by RIPE NCC's RIS project [2]. You query riswhois.ripe.net like you'd query whois.ra.net, but the data returned are from active BGP feeds, not manually registered objects. Since RISwhois uses the same format as RADB, it's trivial to have lft consult the RIS BGP tables: simply replace the string "whois.ra.net" by "riswhois.ripe.net" in the whois.c file and recompile. -- Rene [1] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/presentations/ripe47-eof-riswhois.pdf [2] http://www.ripe.net/projects/ris/index.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rene Wilhelm RIPE Network Coordination Centre Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Amsterdam, the Netherlands Phone: +31 20 535 4417 Fax: +31 20 535 4445 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
