Subject: New routeviews service available (in the event you don't read NANOG)

>> 	All,
>> 
>> 	In response to requests from many folks asking for prefix
>> 	to AS mappings, routeviews is now providing 2 new services 
>> 	mapping an address or prefix to its origin AS and to its
>> 	ASPath. These services are available via two zones:
>> 
>> 	(i).	asn.routeviews.org
>> 
>> 		asn.routeviews.org maps an address or prefix into
>> 		its origin AS, prefix, and prefix length, as seen by
>> 		route-views2.routeviews.org (the data is held in
>> 		TXT records).  
>> 		
>> 		For example, the following command
>> 
>> 		  % dig txt 223.128.asn.routeviews.org
>> 
>> 		returns (among other things)
>> 		
>> 		  223.128.asn.routeviews.org. 86400 IN TXT "3582" "128.223.0.0" "16"
>> 
>> 		The syntax here is: "AS" "Prefix" "Prefix Length"
>> 
>> 	(ii).	aspath.routeviews.org
>> 
>> 		aspath.routeviews.org is similar to asn.routeviews.org,
>> 		except that it maps an address or prefix into the ASpath
>> 		(rather than origin AS), prefix, and prefix length, as
>> 		seen by route-views2.routeviews.org (again, the data
>> 		is held in TXT records).  
>> 
>> 		For example, the following command
>> 
>> 		  % dig txt 223.128.aspath.routeviews.org
>> 
>> 		returns (among other things)
>> 
>> 		  223.128.aspath.routeviews.org. 86400 IN TXT "286 209 3356 3701 3582" "128.223.0.0" "16"
>> 
>> 		The syntax here is: "ASPath" "Prefix" "Prefix Length"
>> 
>> 
>> 	These zones are built twice per-day, 11:45 and 23:45 UTC.
>> 
>> 	Finally, please let us know (help@routeviews.org) if you
>> 	have questions, comments or suggestions for ways we might
>> 	otherwise improve this service. One note: note that these
>> 	zones are quite large, and reloading these produces a
>> 	period of a few minutes during which the server may not
>> 	reply.  
>> 
>> 	Thanks,
>> 
>> 	Dave
