Hello,
Regarding question 1 about registry methods.
A single query point seems to be the most useful for users who are
looking for information on a single or a couple of entries, even if the
returned reply only contains a pointer to an RIR database. Ideally the
records may also be available in some full "list" for for those who are
interested in multiple entries. Today, the original /8 allocations and
their subsequent assignments are not "cleanly" allocated to a single
RIR, early "ERX" records have been transferred to different RIRs. Today
pointer records appear in the RIR databases for these records. Inter-RIR
transfers will only increase the complexity for a enduser to find the
current holder of an IPv4 address block. Until a new method single
query method supported by IANA and the RIRs is developed and deployed,
multiple queries may be required to find a current IPv4 resource record.
Regarding question 2 about allocation methods. A human based approach
seems easiest at this point. It is unclear how often this post
exhaustion reallocation process will be used so an investment in a
software approach doesn't seem to necessarily justified at this time.
