I though I would pass this onto the users of this list.  I am wondering about
your feelings about this.  Is ARIN requesting this info as this message to
this user suggest?

Hi,

Our IP's are being checked (audited) by ARIN. We must justify the IP
usage
to ARIN or we may lose IP's. If we lose the IP's we might not be able
to
provide some services to you, Cobalt Racks customers (one of our major
competitors recently lost a big part of their IP allocation).

As you know, there is a shortage of IP's worldwide. Please help us to
keep
the IP's and provide services for you. This is what we need:

- Complete list of all your IP's

- Complete list of ALL DOMAINS on EACH IP.

We count on your support. This information is confidential and goes
only to
ARIN, which is a non-profit organization.

Please send this back by Friday, May 4, 2001. WE MUST HAVE THIS
INFORMATION!

Please send the list to ipadmin at cobaltracks.com

Thank you.

Tom Surmiak
