Whois and geoip could help you at least in some way with approximating
how many such circuits (which do not use nodes listed as a family of
nodes) could exist. It would be a rough estimate though. Maybe we
could make a script which would go over whois data and e-mail
operators so that they could cooperate end enter those nodes as a
family. Or maybe this could be an automated process? (To check when
building a circuit if nodes are of the same ISP.)
