[ppml] BOGUS- ARIN WHOIS?

[Jack.W.Parks at alltel.com]

Thanks for bringing this up!

We have been trying to correct this discrepancy for months, however, we
are deadlocked with ARIN for resolving this issue.  I know this could
rat hole rather rapidly and is OT.  Ticket # ARIN-20021211.474 

If you need any questions answered, you may forward questions about this
block to ipadmin at alltel.net or abuse at alltel.net.

Thanks,

You can send email to hostmaster at arin.net.  ARIN staff
will research reports of out-of-date information and
take appropriate action.
