[consult] Call for Consultation: ARIN WHOIS Directory Services

[michael.c.loevner at verizon.com]

Owen-

That's really close to what I was thinking, with the only caveat being 
that - and + are already used for:

      +       FULL output shows detailed display for EACH match
      -       LIST output shows summary only, even if single match
              returned

We probably need another identifier, but I like the idea.

192.168.0.0/16+          Returns all records which have portions within 
the

192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
