Hi all,
I support. In my opinion: It should be possible to get this done after
verification that all parts of the /21 are registered to the same
resource holder.
Maybe that will have to be manual action, and i guess you (Mark) don't
mind. I'm also guessing that this only applies to very few cases...?
$ whois -h whois.afrinic.net -- -M 192.96.24.0/21 -T route
tells me what Mark described: 8 route objects for the 8 /24s
Regards,
Frank
