A few years ago we at the RIPE NCC set up a prototype of the IRIS 
server, based on VeriSign code. It provides live allocation data from 
the RIPE Database. There was a client developed, you may find some more 
information here:

http://www.ripe.net/db/iris-pilot/

The project is not active. At the moment there is little interest from 
the community and we are not doing any further development in this area.
