Renumber a lot. It is hard for the Internic to hand out /19 when most of the new providers will be out of business in 6 months. The only way to do it is to get space from your ISP and then renumber if you move. After you do that a few times if you do it will, you will be able to get a /19 and then /18 and so on.
The tools for keeping IP independence should also be more mature and widely deployed... like DHCP for instance, and IP aliasing, which isn't available on older Unices. -- miguel a.l. paraz <map@iphil.net> +63-2-893-0850 iphil communications, makati city, philippines <http://www.iphil.net>
