[arin-discuss] The joy of SWIPping

[Owen DeLong]

I'd agree under that limited set of circumstances that you're probably  
OK.  However,
that was not the implication I got from your original note which  
seemed to advocate
this as a general purpose solution.

In the specific case you sited, I would think it would be better if  
the "admin" contact
still got someone at the customer, but, having the "tech" contact flow  
to your NOC
seems reasonable since your NOC is, essentially, a valid "tech"  
contact for the
site in question.

Thanks for clarifying.
