Hi Leo,

| Those ranges are what we have recorded in our internal systems for  
| when we expanded the /35 to a /32 - we show each additional prefix  
| required to grow a /35 to a /32 as a separate allocation. We also do  
| the same thing when we expand an IPv4 /20 into a /19, /18 or whatever.
| 
| The only records for this growth are our internal files and the  
| published statistics (because they are based on that data). These  
| 'interim' prefixes were never registered in the Whois database.
| 
| I hope this clarifies things.
Yes, I'm enlightened. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me;
I'm sure others found it useful too!

Back to the original thread at hand, it might be a good idea to filter 
out these more specific internal prefixes in statistics-output.

groet,
	Pim
