I  know all  about RBLs...  how can  any RBL,  based on  the information
presented  by ARIN  about  70.97.153.82, decide  that it  is  part of  a
cable/dsl/dialup? Is there another record  in ARIN that I'm missing, one
that declares, ``I'm a dialup pool?'' Of course at this point we're back
to the policies of an RBL maintainer.

But in this case we aren't  talking about RBL maintainers, we're talking
about Godaddy.  I was  attempting to  provide some  questions to  the OP
which he could use to figure out  how this situation happens, how his IP
got there, which he could then use  to formulate some kind of a response
to Godaddy.  Does ELI possibly publish  its own list that  indicates the
IPs are  cable/dsl/dialup? If  so, then  this is  something that  the OP
should take up with ELI.
