my isp and server provider sent me this email - demanding my custoner list - has anybody ever had to deal with this sort of intrusion? we have been told we will loose our servers if we do not comply Subject: IP audit CC: ipadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi, Our IP's are being checked (audited) by ARIN. We must justify the IP usage to ARIN or we may lose IP's. If we lose the IP's we might not be able to provide some services to you, Cobalt Racks customers (one of our major competitors recently lost a big part of their IP allocation).
It's quite simple... if you trust your provider to be an ethical, honest company, then by all means give them the list, since ARIN has for a while done this kind of thing. I think that policy is now under review, but you shouldn't have a problem giving them the list of customers you serve.
OTOH, if you *don't* have trust and faith in your provider's ethical structure you shouldn't give them the list... but then, why would you do business with them?
