Some of you *might* remember a rant I posted here several years ago about getting our first allocation from ARIN...many here suggested that I call ARIN and get clarification on the allocation (ie, they gave me a /20 when I offered to renumber out of a /20 plus a smattering of other blocks...mathematically impossible, of course). So, when I called them back, they told me that renumbering out of our upstream provided space wasn't part of getting the allocation, and wasn't considered in the allocation process.
So, now, when I go for them for the next allocation, stating that I *wanted* to renumber out of these blocks, what do I get? Another /20 (now even more mathematically impossible than ever). So, when I called emailed them for clarification, pointing out that I was actively looking to renumber out of upstream provided space and that a /20 wasn't enough space to do so...they told me that they weren't going to give me the space because the policy's wouldn't allow it (thus my first post), and that "You were going to renumber when you got your last allocation several years ago, and you didn't." (quote isn't exact, but captures the spirit of what was said).
Needless to say...ARIN needs a big foam cluebat upside the head...alas, I don't see it happening.
So, you didn't renumber out of PA space into PI space and then upon hitting 80% utilization asking for additional PI space, which would have been justified at such point? Perhaps the cluebat might do more good on you?
