I ask this just for personal edification, but can you ask ARIN for a /22? I thought the lowest they would go is a /21 for multi-homed organizations. Bill Woodcock wrote:

It's not a matter of convincing, it's a matter of demonstrating need.
If you're actually _using_ the four /24s, you can demonstrate a need for a /22 today. So a good first step would be to use the four /24s until they're full. Second step would be to apply to ARIN for a /22 to replace them. Renumber into that. Then keep applying to ARIN for more space as you need it.
