err, last 3 times I asked this I was shown the error of my ways, but
here goes...

209.250.228.241 - seems to not have any records in ARIN's WHOIS
database, everythign seems to roll up to the /8 record :(

I see this routed as a /23: (from routeviews)
  BGP routing table entry for 209.250.228.0/23, version 2072545487
Paths: (33 available, best #19, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
  Not advertised to any peer
  3277 3267 174 27431 14037
    194.85.102.33 from 194.85.102.33 (194.85.4.4)
      Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external
      Community: 3277:3267 3277:65321 3277:65323 3277:65330

If I look at the ASN in particular: AS14037
no records exist for that in ARIN's WHOIS database either ;( If I look
at all the networks announced by AS14037:
14037   | 204.8.216.0/21      |
14037   | 209.250.224.0/19    |
14037   | 209.250.228.0/23    |
14037   | 209.250.242.0/24    |
14037   | 209.250.247.0/24    |
14037   | 64.18.128.0/19      |
14037   | 64.18.159.0/24      |


none of them have any records in the ARIN WHOIS database :( The
upstream for this network is  AS 27431 - JTL Networks
who seems to get transit/peer with 3356/174.

It's nice to see folk who use IRR databases to filter their customers
still permit this sort of thing to go on though: AS3356 I'm looking at
you...

I think first: "Where are the records for this set of ip number resources?"
and second: "Why are we still seeing this on the network with no way
to contact the operators of the resources?"
