Hi Denis,

Thanks for your reply.

Somehow or another, alloclist.txt is built from information which is held
by the RIPE NCC.  This information includes the LIR regid, which means that
you have a pretty much direct mapping internally between allocations and regid.

Separately, there is another file maintained on the RIPE ftp site called
delegated-ripencc-latest.  This includes all direct assignments, all ASNs
and all allocations.

What I was looking for was something along the lines of
delegated-ripencc-latest, except with an extra field to include the regid
if it exists for that particular object.  I don't see any particular need
to include this information in objects in the ripe database, because it
would probably be difficult to do due to backwards compatibility reasons.
But it should be pretty easy to augment delegated-ripencc-latest with an
extra field, no?
