  * Dear NCC people,

Hi Blasco,
  * 
  * I think that too strict sintax checking is applied in the case
  * of the dom-net database field. An example follows.
  * We are deploying technology to obsolete networks classes (A,B,C,...)
  * and at the same time the RIPE database checking rules do not take
  * into account the actual usage of dear old subnetworks?
  *
Actually, the syntax is according to the document ripe-049 which sets
out the definition for dom-net.
 
  * In practice very often a number of subnetworks of a class B network are
  * used to host machines in a domain while other subnetworks are used
  * to host machines of a different domain. This is common for large
  * networks in a city.
  * 
Perhaps, but as far as I understand this was meant to be just a pointer to
the networks possibly serviced as part of that domain.
I would say the dom-net is not very useful anyway.

  * We would like the checking rules to be relaxed in this case.
  * Could you please do that?

No Sorry - not unless the document is changed it'll stay as it is. 
As I said I would prefer to see dom-net phased out rather than 
preserving its life.
