The info is in the as-block object which whois.ripe.net returns in 
addition to the
aut-num object when you do a default query for an AS number.

For example for as43210 you get this:


as-block:       AS43008 - AS44031
descr:          RIPE NCC ASN block
remarks:        These AS Numbers are further assigned to network
remarks:        operators in the RIPE NCC service region. AS
remarks:        assignment policy is documented in:
remarks:        <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asn-assignment.html>
remarks:        RIPE NCC members can request AS Numbers using the
remarks:        form available in the LIR Portal or at:
remarks:        <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asnrequestform.html>
org:            ORG-NCC1-RIPE
admin-c:        CREW-RIPE
tech-c:         RD132-RIPE
mnt-by:         RIPE-DBM-MNT
mnt-lower:      RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
source:         RIPE # Filtered

Only AS numbers which are covered by "RIPE NCC ASN blocks" have been 
assigned by RIPE NCC or transferred to RIPE NCC (like AS1707).
