Announcing APNIC IP's in ARIN region

Tue Sep 25 09:05:34 UTC 2012

It presents no technical problem but has always been considered
politically inadvisable. I mean, there are multiple registries for a
reason that goes beyond mere oranization and load sharing.
Increasingly, governments are trying to take more control over packets
(there is ever the push for geographic maping mechanisms and so on)
and that may introduce potential legal problems in the future,
depending on the nation you're in and how paranoid they become.

So in short, do what you need to do. Just be aware of sub-optimal.
