A similar thing that people might like is the recent new service from routeviews.org. They have a little route server to DNS gateway so you can do things like: $ host -t txt 252.109.203.asn.routeviews.org 252.109.203.asn.routeviews.org text "7657" "203.109.252.0" "22" $ host -t txt 252.109.203.aspath.routeviews.org 252.109.203.aspath.routeviews.org text "2914 4565 7657 7657 7657" "203.109.252.0" "22" $ host -t txt 132.92.96.203.asn.routeviews.org 132.92.96.203.asn.routeviews.org text "4648" "203.96.64.0" "19" $ host -t txt 132.92.96.203.aspath.routeviews.org 132.92.96.203.aspath.routeviews.org text "2914 1239 4648" "203.96.64.0" "19" Very cool imho. -- Simon J. Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT. I've seen things you people can't imagine. Chimneysweeps on fire over the roofs of London. I've watched kite-strings glitter in the sun at Hyde Park Gate. All these things will be lost in time, like chalk-paintings in the rain. Time for my nap. -- Julie Andrews, Bladestroller ( by Peter da Silva )
