This particular /8 allocation is described by IANA as "007/8 Apr 95 IANA - Reserved" in http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4- address-space while a whois query to the ARIN database reveals:$ whois 7.0.0.0 ... RegDate: 1997-11-24 Updated: 1998-09-26 ... So in this case who is telling the truth? IANA or ARIN?
Well, IANA's registry claims data from 4/95 and ARIN's registry claims data from 9/98. I know which I would think would be telling the truth.
Would we want to change whois output to include the 'pub/priv' flag?or "conflicting data" flag?
Nah. The right answer is to synchronize the data somehow. The data could either be replicated or a referral could be provided. Not rocket science.
I think I can state authoritatively (:-)) that the IANA is aware of (at least some of) the discrepancies and has address registry data synchronization on its priority list.
