Autonomous system
AS45809 NZRS-AS-AP ASN for .nz registry content
Unclassified APNIC Non-Profit
Summary
InternetNZ
registry infrastructure nz
NZRS-AS-AP is the autonomous system for InternetNZ, the .nz domain registry.
What it's used for
- The address space carries registry infrastructure, evidenced by netnames
INTERNET-NZandInternetNZassociated with registrantIRT-INTERNET-NZ. - The AS announces 1280 IPv4 addresses and 4 IPv6 prefixes, with 6 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale infrastructure footprint rather than a large access or transit network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for the .nz domain registry services, including DNS and registration management systems.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes are
InternetNZ, matching the AS holder. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into two IPv4 prefixes and four IPv6 prefixes, consistent with an internal corporate estate for registry operations.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
