o from a box with that new prefix, the rir pings all asn's registered pingable addresses from the first step
 o whine about any which are not pingable

interesting modulo issues of reachability at any one time.  and
places more of a routing policing burden on the rirs.  though some
at least one rir is just dying to become net police, so it might sell.

We can set this up and provide the results for public consumption given the IP's and a minimum allocation from each one of the new blocks. (for the neccessary duration, unless permanent allocation for darkspace duty is acceptable)
