AS45285 NZ-AS-NS2-AP ASN for anycast peering
Hosting ARIN Non-Profit
Summary
InternetNZ
tld anycast dns nz
NZ-AS-NS2-AP is operated by InternetNZ.
What it's used for
- The address space carries the New Zealand country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) infrastructure, specifically for anycast peering and DNS services, as indicated by the netname
InternetNZand the AS description "ASN for anycast peering". - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 7 IPv6 prefixes, with only 3 observed neighbours, indicating a specialized infrastructure role rather than a general transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of DNS queries and responses for the .nz domain, as InternetNZ is the non-profit organization responsible for managing the New Zealand ccTLD.
Notable
- The registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes are
InternetNZ, matching the AS holder and confirming the space is directly owned and operated by the TLD registry. - The address inventory is small and finely subdivided, with two IPv4 prefixes and seven IPv6 prefixes, consistent with an internal corporate estate for a specific technical function rather than a broad subscriber base.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
