Hi all -

Freenum/ISN is being used quite a bit, actually.  Quite vigorously,  
though I don't have stats due to the nature of the lookups in the DNS  
across dozens of authoritative anycast systems around the world (the  
PCH anycast network.)

As part of the freenum.org data collection system, there is a field  
for "test numbers" for each ITAD.  Most people don't fill these in,  
but quite a few have.  This is a public data set, so I don't feel  
there is any problem printing this list out that I scraped from the  
database.  This will be web-accessible someday...

Eventually, I also expect test numbers will be part of the freenum.org  
DNS table if the administrator of the ITAD so wishes, but right now  
they're not part of the data set that is published via the DNS.  Take  
a look all the way at the bottom of this message for an example of  
what lives in the DNS right now for ITAD 256.
