Why not formalize you inquiry and send it to the list? It is also a topic which could be scheduled following one of the upcoming Public Policy meetings in Chicago. When the CLEW working group existed, it often met in such fashion. Also, there may be interest in developing such an application as an Open Source project. I think (personal opinion) that such a survey by ARIN staff would be innappropriate unless they had nothing else to do, which doesn't seem possible.

This is designed around many of our existing client databases and systems that we have. We are still in the beginning phase of implimentation, but hope to have the system up and running with all our addresses in place by the end of this year. And have plans for many features. Including Auto-updates to ARIN.

This is exactly what I did for our company. I had looked around, but I was not able to find anything that suited our needs, so I wrote something while on a few cross country plane trips. What I have now saves me numerous hours reviewing data and managing our IP space (which is currently about five /16's between what we have and what our customers have). What does it do? * Tracks/assigns all WAN IPs for customers routers * Tracks/assigns all subnets assigned to customers * Monitors customer database for cancellations to automatically reclaim IP space from customers that have moved on * Manage all netblocks assigned from ARIN * Provides utilization reports specifically in reference to how close am I to the magical 80% to request more IPs. * Provides utilization information for each of our 12 markets around the country so that I know when we are running low on IPs for a region. If we are low, a couple of clicks and the IP pools are automatically refreshed. * Manages the assignments of /24's to our 12 markets around the US while automatically making sure that if I assign a /21 to NYC, that it does not violate any subnet boundries or cross over into blocks that have been assign to other markets. * Daily scrubs of all /24's to be used for customer subnet assignments (not WAN IPs) to look for /24's that are completely used and then take them out of the search path when assigning IPs for customers (this is to speed up the assignments... no need to look for holes in blocks that you know are full). * Generates our RADIUS files which are used for automatic circuit provisioning and IP routing. * Automatically updates my RWhois server every day with all of our reassignment information. * Has the ability to automatically send out SWIP adds/changes/deletes (but I commented it out of the code because I wanted to stay with RWhois) * Tracks ASN's of our customers And one of the biggest benefits... * When I am ready to request more IPs from ARIN, I hit a button and 30 seconds later, a completed IP request form drops into my Inbox completely filled out with all of the detail that ARIN is looking for in processing a request. All I have to do is forward the email to ARIN! -Sean Sean P.
