The inet(6)num Split Files contain all the Handles. But IRT Objects are
defined as personal data, that way there is just a dummy split file.

Database Documentation and testing tells me that there is no limit.

How about making the IRT Object only mandatory for the direct allocations?

That way we would have at least one abuse contact per IP. And the
Netrange owner can decide if he wants to receive the complaints and if
not he can create an irt for his subdelegations.


Less caching does not hurt as long as the rate limits are not existing.
