	Some folks (like me) verify assignments based on published data
	from the RIRs.  Checking your FTP site for delegated prefixes 
	as they show up in the DNS, I see this in the zones directory:

-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    653 Dec 23 11:58 170-LACNIC
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    187 Dec 23 11:58 170-LACNIC.asc
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp     52 Dec 23 11:58 170-LACNIC.md5
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    214 Dec 23 11:58 199-LACNIC
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    187 Dec 23 11:58 199-LACNIC.asc
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp     52 Dec 23 11:58 199-LACNIC.md5
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp   1478 Dec 23 11:58 204-LACNIC
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    187 Dec 23 11:58 204-LACNIC.asc
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp     52 Dec 23 11:58 204-LACNIC.md5
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    108 Dec 23 11:58 205-LACNIC
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp    187 Dec 23 11:58 205-LACNIC.asc
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp  ftp     52 Dec 23 11:58 205-LACNIC.md5

	e.g.  no zone data for 201.0.0.0/8 - so at least from here, 
	we will filter 201.0.0.0/8 until we see valid DNS data.
