"sometimes wonder if it would be worthwhile to set
up a "legacy registry" to maintain all the old out-of-contract address
registrations." Bill Herrin
Out-of-the-box thinking for out-of- contract addresses:)
Would that mean that ARIN would be able to request return of all resources
previously allocated to "legacy registry " inhabitants?
(silly question)
I'd be interested to know how accurate is our general knowledge of legacy
resources..I guess previous someones would have listed allocations but
chairs and tables do get re-arranged over the years.
