There is a project for the creation of an IP management tool to be
distributed to the LIRs. Development on the project has not yet started,
but a public mailing list is up for discussion - ipmt-dev at ripe.net. Please
subscribe if you're interested in the development of the tool.

Available right now, though, there is asused:

Asused is a tool to check and summarise address space registered in
the RIPE database. For a given list of allocations the tool prints
various information concerning the allocations and the assignments
they contain.

The software is written in standard Perl 5 and uses several Perl
modules. It was written and tested on BSD/OS 3.1, but should work with
any modern UNIX-like operating system.
 
All the files needed are stored in this file:
  
  ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/asused-3.52.tar.gz


Of course, if other people have written tools for IP address management,
we would be very happy to hear from them.

Regards.
