With ARIN going to the REST interface late last year I would
strongly recommend before laying your cash down that you get an
ironclad guarantee from this company that IPAM will interface
to ARIN through the REST interface and NOT through the older
e-mail interface (that ARIN is phasing out) for SWIP filing,
before you buy it, or that any needed upgrades to doing this
will be free.
