Wow, that one is interesting!

Needed me a while to understand what this is about, and also I found
this:

In any case, the database I was asking for does apparently exist,
and You pointed me to it. Thank You very much!

Nevertheless, in my case, a different path is taken. As I finally
figured out, there is an agreement between my respective provider and
Google, which basically is a geofeed file and contains the data in
question, but is apparently not visible in the WHOIS/RPSL.

Again, thanks a lot, folks!

cheerio,PMc
