Good call, thanks. That appears to be via the assigned resources bit ("IP
Addresses" heading in Arin Online). Will give that a shot, thanks!

@Job:

Thanks! I was aware of the RIPE whois option, but the relevant resources
for us are in ARIN.  I wasn't aware of the RPSL *remark* option for
providing that.  We should be able to give that a bash.

Hmmm, there might be an obstacle due to lack of inetnum support in ARIN:
https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/suggestions/2021/2021-27/

However there is good news: the last paragraph of RFC 9092 section 3
suggests a workaround specific to ARIN:

        "Currently, the registry data published by ARIN are not the same
        RPSL as that of the other registries (see [RFC7485] for a survey
        of the WHOIS Tower of Babel); therefore, when fetching from ARIN
        via FTP [RFC0959], WHOIS [RFC3912], the Registration Data Access
        Protocol (RDAP) [RFC9082], etc., the "NetRange" attribute/key
        MUST be treated as "inetnum", and the "Comment" attribute MUST
        be treated as "remarks".

Perhaps you insert a "Comment: Geofeed https://xxx/geofeed.csv"; in the
place where NetRange blobs come from?

Kind regards,

Job
