The best would be a list from a network administrator.

If the request comes from a user, I resort to whois queries based
upon their IP address.

A more automated approach would be to extract prefixes via a
BGP feed from an ISP that peers at the HIX, but the problem is
getting an ISP to sponsor such a feed.
