<span>is it possible that the DoD:</span><br>
<span> 1) signed a lRSA (or really just an RSA)</span><br>
<span> 2) asked AS8003 to announce these prefixes (in certain sized blocks, maybe)</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>under normal actions that arin does all the time for people?</span><br>
<span>If these were /24's and not parts/whole of /8's would anyone have noticed?</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>it's entirely possible that 8003 is just a holding tank for the</span><br>
<span>prefixes while DoD/etc find a method to xfer the space to those that</span><br>
