It's valid so long as you have an LOA for it. I've found many people who request IPs may not be ready to announce them, and have no idea of the typical requirements. Much like "paper repeaters", they want to reserve "their" space, but are not ready to use it. I'd have asked who the upstream would be, and get an LOA from the AS holder. The whole regional administrator thing breaks a bit with sharing ASN's like this, IMO it should be an application to Utah. That way he's got a local person in his time zone to talk to. It could be 100% legit, best thing to do is get the docs and grant it. Get on the phone and verifying helps too. If it's not legit, we'll know in a week when the spam reports roll in :) A 12 year old running BGP is cool. I thought I was hot shit when I migrated to qmail at his age. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
