Hi all
Maybe someone can answer the following?
One of our enterprise customers has registered an IP range to be used as ISP independent range (PI-Range). This range was registered within RIPE and is used at he moment in US, EMEA as Asia Pacific with the correct corresponding AS. This means the range registered within RIPE was splitted in 3 smaller pieces and each piece is used for the corresponding region. The problem is now that if somebody in US is requesting google.com he will be redirected because of a lookup of the IP to google.ch. This is confusing users on the company network.
How can this situation be solved? Is it possible to register the piece of the overall IP range to ARIN (and only this piece) ? According to the customer it is not possible to register again ip-ranges at ARIN etc. there're too many impacts in his network infrastructure etc.
Anyone?
Thanks for an answer...
Peter
I suppose instead, contact the people behind the libGeoIP,
and afair is geoIP THE library to get the people and their corresponding IPs
Doesn't Zattoo e.g use it?

We switched to using countries.nerd.dk over a year ago, I think that list is far more accurate. Maybe maxmind has gotten better since then.

RIPE space is not transferable to ARIN, APNIC etc. and vice versa.
Get your RIPE entries done correctly with country information and ping Maxmind and other GeoIP database to fix your entries.
You of course could apply for separate IP space at ARIN, APNIC etc. and renumber, but this is a) expensive and b) requires a lot of labor - probably not the favourite way to go.

Hello
Thank you all for your hints about GeoIP, Maxmind and the RIPE Objects. I will let the customer know what to do.
Thanks!
